Dropdown option for dynamic filter

[BongoKing]

Is there a possibility to use dropdown selection for dynamic filters? I did not find any information about such a functionality in the documentation. It could be really useful, especialy because the struct plugin has a central way to ensure the structured data was consistent over multiple pages. The dropdown option would make it easier to select the right search term and/or to validation for.

Comparable to the user interface option of the strata plugin.

Strata Example:

ui {
  Person {
    filter: select
  }
  Address {
    filter: text

I assume this is about the dynfilters setting. Judging from the strata example, I assume you would want to set the kind of filter per column. Eg. let one column be filtered by text input while another uses a Dropdown?

I could imagine extending the dynfilters setting to accept a list of arguments. Like so:

---- struct table ----
schema: example
cols: a, b, c, d
dynfilters: text, select, select, none
----

@BongoKing does that match what you had in mind?

Yes that is exactly what I had in mind! Thanks a lot!

I'd very much support such an option. That is exactly what I am looking for and trying to achieve since a few days. I would even suggest, that the dynfilter takes the same format as the field type by default. E.g. a multi-select dropdown would also show as a multi-select dropdown in the filter ecc.. This has probably to be relaxed a little, e.g. by using "text" for longtext, email wiki etc.

Is the implementation of this feature in the roadmap or not (yet)?
