    Hi,

    On Macbook version, in the filter criteria, you can select “is” or “contains”.

    For example, I have a field called “Sales” and I can create a filter called “Sales Contains Yes” or Sales is Yes”.

    However, on the iPhone version, the “is” filter is missing.

    So if I create a filter with “is” on the Macbook, on the iPhone it will become “contains”.

    Why is there a discrepancy?

    How does the “contains” on the iPhone works? Same as the “is” on Macbook? Or same as the “contains” on Macbook?

    Thanks,
    Aik Pin

    Looks like that was an oversight on my part. I’ll fix it up for Tap Forms 5.1.

    Thanks for letting me know about this inconsistency. They should work differently. “is” should be an exact match of the term and “contains” should find the search term within the text being searched (word boundaries).

    Ok. I’ve just fixed it. The iOS version will also have “is” as a comparison operator for textual field types in Tap Forms 5.1.

    Thanks again.
