kendo-filter-startswith-operator in kendo-grid-string-filter-menu

Hi,

I wanted to add the operator "doesnotendwith" and "doesnotstartwith" (present in the FilterOperator enum) in the "OPERATORS" drop-down of the STRING kendo-grid-string-filter-menu column filter.

I don't think there is a component I can add to the markup as explained in the following documentation:

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/grid/filtering/filter-menu/#toc-order-of-filter-operators

If possible I would like to avoid creating a new custom filter.
It's possible?

Thank you,
B.

Hi Benedetta,

We are declining this request due to the current level of interest and demand.

However, if interest in this feature increases significantly in the future, we will reconsider its status and evaluate it again.

Hi Benedetta,

Indeed this is a valid feature request since so far there isn't a built-in option to add those operators to the list. That is why I am converting this ticket to a feature request item and added your vote to it.

Thus we can track the customer demand and consider exposing them as a filter operator component.

Meanwhile using kendoGridFilterMenuTemplate is the way to go as it provides an opportunity to add custom operator component that can display the desired ones.
