Select in Field action and expression editor

[mhr2015]

when using the expression editor to select the field name to make a selection via action, the field name appears as = which doesn't work due to the equal sign. In addition, an example on how to choose multiple values form a field via action would be helpful.

Hmm, re-thinking of the solution, I think it would be much better to change this to be a dropdown to select from all existing fields. Doesn't need to be that dynamic that defining a field by using an expression would really help.
What do you think?

Hi Stefan,

yup, a dropdown menu to select dimensions would be ideal and more straight-forward than having to open the expression editor to do that!

Cheers,

Matthias

OK, will go for that - I think that's better anyhow.

I revised my opinion, for now I think this would over-complicate the UI, but added it to the list of potential improvements on README.md

Closing for now, since this is not an issue but an enhancement.

Hi Stefan, I tried to use this functionality by adding as Field an expression, for example
if(Field=valuefied,1,0) and as Value 1 and this should work as a filter on the Field with the valuefield, but it didn't work. Is this possible? (since I want to use much more complicated expressions)

See #106 Isn't this exactly the same issue?
