Timelapse UX: custom filter dialog's search criteria column doesn't differentiate between database and display strings #132

Closed twest820 closed 7 years ago

twest820 commented 8 years ago

Since most controls have datatype string there's not generally a difference between database and display values. This is not the case for DateTime and UtcOffset and the current design results the user being shown a database value which doesn't match the display value shown in the value column. This is potentially confusing, in which case it's a bug. It's also potentially a feature as the exact query used is shown and CSV files necessarily use database values, so they are user visible.

Could change the SearchTerm object to include display as well as database values. Could change the dialog to explain content in the search term column might not exactly match content in the value column.

Treating as a feature for now and taking no action.
