Issue using DataSourceTextField.setValidOperators() not working in FilterBuilder

Smart GWT Technical Q&A

Hi,

I have an issue when trying to limit the operator list in the FilterBuilder for specific fields.

I set the restrictions on the fields in my DataSource, however they are not reflected in the FilterBuilder dropdown.

For this input…

DataSourceTextField omsName = new DataSourceTextField("omsName");
omsName.setValidOperators(OperatorId.CONTAINS, OperatorId.NOT_CONTAINS, OperatorId.EQUALS, OperatorId.NOT_EQUAL, OperatorId.STARTS_WITH, OperatorId.ENDS_WITH, OperatorId.EQUALS_FIELD);
fields.add(omsName);

I get…
[Equals, Not equals, Matches other field] in the dropdown.

Am I using the API correctly?

I’m using
Smartgwt 2.5 (07.06.11), FF 4.0.1, Chrome 13.0

First saw the issue in an end of April nightly, this was the reason I updated to last night’s.

I am having the same problem with contains, between, starts with, Ends with, and not contains.
