This is the second of a series of three new discussions for #978 Design for List data type. This discussion focuses on setting up List data type and filtering. See related discussion #1034 (Updated Mar 4). This discussion has been updated after meeting with Ghislaine on Mar 4.
The Problem
Questions Needed to be Addressed
Possible Solutions
1. Setting up a List data type from Text.
Update 03/04: This solution needs to be explored with multi-dimensional array. It only works the best for generating "List" or "Array" from a cell that has been formatted as such already.
From the column header menu, users can configure a List data type and its item type. This solution assumes Mathesar can automatically recognize a delimiter and allow users to type in a delimiter. Other configuration settings will be added after discussing with team members.
2. Filtering.
Update 03/04: After discussing with Ghislaine, multiple filters are only considered as "AND" operation.
Users can filter by both the List item types, numbers of items, and their content. Rather than providing every possible filtering options (e.g., equal to, greater or equal to...), the following design explores a filter "union" vs. "difference". If "union" is selected, results from all filters will be shown together.
This discussion will be updated after discussing with @ghislaineguerin @kgodey.
