Sure ! Points that I'll take into account from now on.

True... and one more thing that I was working on (when I responded to Guillaume the other day) was that if a person does an 'exclude by selection' on a field with a value = 10, we simply put a [WHERE] value <> 10 filter... however I think this is incomplete.

instead of
WHERE value <> 10

we should rather put

WHERE (value <> 10 OR value IS NULL)
Or

WHERE (value IS DISTINCT FROM 10)


This is because as per the UI, the user does not want value 10, but he still would want a NULL value in the records.

However, this would not apply for cases of 'Filter by selection' where the user would want only value = 10. There a WHERE value = 10 would remove rows with NULL values as well.

Sure ! :)
