[Feature Request]: Enable Variables in Filter Rows

[schwaen]

What would you like to happen?

I have regular expressions for recurring checks: I would like to use these in filter rows using variables.

Would that be possible?

Thank you very much!

That sounds like a good idea!
Currently, you can first use a regex evaluation transform add the result as a field, and filter on that.

I always try to keep my pipelines lean. Therefore, a “SELECT VALUE” would theoretically be necessary later to remove the superfluous field.

Would this be recommended for a simple mapping?

[schwaen]

Forget the question. I made a mistake in my thinking ;-)

I agree with keeping pipelines as lean as possible and see added value in this feature.
Simple mapping might be a bit complex you would need to copy over values in a fixed field to have the filter working as expected. It might become more overhead on the processing.
