Filtering by custom field

[pH142857]

In the old interface, I could filter invoices by custom field with this little guy:

In the new interface, I see no equivalent, only a “filter” text area looking in all the fields for the input string. This is much less convenient. Has the original filtering function disappeared and could it reappear, please?

Hi there,

The new search is unified & supports searching by custom values.

If you have invoices.custom1 set to "something", searching "something" on the invoices table will show that invoice.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the answer @beganovich ; this is less convenient than a real column-wise filter because other results may appear, if the string is present in other columns than the one we're trying to filter-by. It's "usable" but not as great as what we had before, that's why I'm asking.

I see. That's a valid point. I can mark this as a feature request and we may come back later at it in different ways.

Perhaps like v4 did it or with inline filters like "custom1: value".
