Filter board column on more than one label #38

Open darenwelsh opened 2 years ago

darenwelsh commented 2 years ago

Some potential issues after initially thinking this through:

Do we assume for a column, if the user lists 2 or more labels, that their intent is to list actions with either (OR) label? Or do we assume they only want actions that have both (AND) labels? Or are we supposed to accommodate both options?
This seems like it'll make the optional "None of these labels" column query very difficult to specify

For the optional "None of these labels" column, a different approach would be to

query for actions that meet the criteria of each column
make an array of these actions represented in defined columns
make another array of actions using the filters for the whole board
make a new array based on the diff of the first two arrays
use that diff array to define which actions to show in the optional "None of these labels" column

Decision: For now, only accommodate AND conditions for multiple labels defining a column. For example, if someone lists Label:In work and Label:Urgent to define a column, only show actions that have both labels.
