Description

Perhaps I've overlooked the documentation or various examples, but I'd like to use a free-form text input as the filter input. In other words, at runtime, the user can freely type in the filter value as opposed to selecting from a pre-defined list presented in a select list.

I've tried:

  • Rule templates: 'custom' placeholder filter, and a custom rule filter (mixed results; struggled with the placement of the operators select)
  • Augmenting the UX by presenting an additional form in order to inject custom filters at runtime (adds unnecessary steps)

Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the rule-template documentation and examples, especially the custom placeholder filter and custom rule filter approaches mentioned in the issue. Determine how the operator selector is positioned for a free-text value and verify that users can enter filter values at runtime without an additional form.
