filter on checkboxes with multiple selected

Hi there,

Dumping this in the forums, because the contactform returns a time-out when trying to send (might check that out).

i added a checkboxes field with 4 values and added a filter. Folter shows up on frontend, but does not give the expected results.

Filter only returns a item when there is 1 value selected in the backend, but with multiple values selected the item is not returned with filtering. It seems that the filter looks for a exact match (for example #value1 AND #value2) instead of the expected (#value1 OR #value2). THat last behaviour is expected since you can only select 1 given value in the frontend filter, not multiple. This issue is fairly critical for a component im creating, also reported the bug in Github but i need a quick solution!


My suggestion: A filter on fields with the possibility to select multiple values (checkboxes, select list with multiple) should, imho, have two choices when adding a filter:
1) type of filter: one value selectable (like the current dropdown) or multiple items selectable (checkboxes for example) and 2)exact match or partial match with selected values. that would be ideal!
