This is primarily for Data Designer, but likely shows up in Horizon Rules as well, I just haven’t tested it.

 

The basic issue is mostly a semantic one, but I’ve noticed that a filter will show up differently depending on where you look and it can be a bit confusing, and the filter itself may not even match the data you’re filtering which is really weird.

 

Example 1:

This is viewed from the ‘Details and Summary section:

Same filter set, but viewed from the “filters” section of the task:

 

Example 2:

Viewed from the Details and Summary section:

 

Here is the actual data shown in the preview:

 

There is no “Yes” value, it’s a boolean that has values displayed as “true” or “false”.

 

I understand these are equivalent things in context, but I had to do a double take to make sure I had my filters set up the way I wanted. I would also imagine this would be extra confusing for a new admin, especially date related filters not matching.

 

A small but helpful admin quality of life improvement and overall consistency with the product.

100% on this as well. Generally hate the Horizon date filter logic… the bionic rules logic is so much clearer/easier.

The most expensive part of building is the mistakes. That's true in construction. Not so much in CSOps. So ask questions, make mistakes and learn. All views expressed here are my own.

+1, annoying issue with DateTime filters in Data Designer is that you can’t use all the options. For example, this appears when trying to use the Equals option:
