Filter: Allow filtering on children collections.

partner/id eq 1

• Should be a valid query.

[TrevorVonSeggern]

For the query: partner/favorite/id eq 1 Is there an implicit filter for: partner ne null and partner/favorite ne null?

What about collections? Do collections get filtered with all, any, or does it filter the items within the collection?

[TrevorVonSeggern]

According to Example 93 in the specification, filters that are applied to child collections only provide a filter on that collection, not the entire result set. Example: Categories:

[
{id: 1, labels: [ 'red', 'blue' ]},
{id: 2, labels: [ 'red', 'green' ]}
] 

=> to endpoint /api/Category The query /api/Category?$expand=labels($filter="red"), or the query /api/Category?$expand=labels & $filter="red" would return the result:

[
{id: 1, labels: [ 'red' ]},
{id: 2, labels: [ 'red' ]}
]
