Description

Looking for guidance on the best approach to implement a requirement.

I would like to use a filter that defines a set of operators and allow the user to type in the field name associated with the available operators.

The default usage requires the filter to define the field name and operators. Due to the nature of the data structure I am working with, the user will need to enter their field name and then select from a list of operators that are defined. Essentially the drop drown field selector should become a text field. Does the community have any guidance and or previously developed plugins/examples to work from? Thanks!

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reviewing how the existing filter field selector and operator choices are configured and rendered, then determine whether user-entered field names can be supported without breaking the current behavior. Done would mean users can enter a field name and select from the defined operators.
