abons asked on March 5, 2019

I'd like to filter all results with tag "fugiat" or "quis" from a text-field containing tags (comma separated)
https://jsfiddle.net/6ktmsxec/1/
Or maybe as OR-filter over multiple columns with field seperated tags
https://jsfiddle.net/6ktmsxec/2/

Hello,
Thank you for your question.
Currently, several filtering queries unioned with logical operations are not supported.
Therefore, please consider using the following workarounds:

you can add some utility UI tools for filtering, here is the example: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/8g4tjx9y/
also, with the help of some additional custom code, you can extend the existing filtering functionality to support the necessary behavior: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/jxw4sv6m/.

Please let us know in case you need more guidance from us.
Regards,
Dmytro

Thank you for the quick response.
I'll extend the filtering functionality for the OR-filter in my case.
It worked great by adding a simple search.split(' ') in the example.
Is is also possible to extend the filter popup for this specific filter?
> the options list should be separate tags (from members.caption or other source)
> applying the popup should use the new filter

I got the OR-filter working for my case (after I updated to v2.7.0).

I used the filteropen event to open a custom popup as mentioned in https://www.flexmonster.com/question/is-it-possible-to-access-filter-list/
> would be nice if the filteropen could be cancelled or replaced (maybe beforeFilterOpen)
It would be even better if the OR-filter could be added to the existing popup to have both filter-options available and the new v2.7 filter

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.
We are glad you have managed to get the OR-filter working for your case. If you want to hide the existing filtering pop-up window, you can do it with the help of CSS styles. The existing filtering pop-up window provides functionality 'as is' so for custom cases we suggest creating your own pop-up window.
I hope this answers your question, but please let me know if you would like to know anything else.
Regards,
Tanya
