We are creatures of habit - we use certain functions constantly and the tool-tips become invasive so we turn them off - and suffer the consequences when inspired to try something new. Also, the filters don't seem that consistent anyway; Not using the example provided but a simple table with a date and various other text columns we can select and "lock" multiple events from a text column which is fine. We can then use the date column to exclude some dates - also fine. If we now use any SF the display then gives just the first condition of the first alpha selection IGNORING ALL THE OTHER VALID CATEGORIES and removes them from the initial content list, then the AND condition is populated with the first EXCLUDED date but evaluates it as "equals" not "excluded" and the other excluded date is not mentioned. The process is "correct" because the first date is excluded so the valid selection is "null" because none of the other rows fit THAT specific date/content criteria but I never removed any of the other "selected/locked" criteria in the text column which implies the process cherry picked with the net result of nothing is valid. it's also difficult to clear the filters over which SF has taken control because they are now tagged "all" in their own selection pane but are not flagged in the list nor is that flag accessible Is this making sense? I'm quite comfortable with a TeamViewer session and sharing my desktop with you to demonstrate if my definition is unclear. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
