The option to filter out list items that aren’t in a collection. (Currently is only possible by adding a Visibility rule to the list item in a custom list). Project also includes some text changes to make filtering a little clearer.

Filter a list sometimes.  
So if a user has not selected an option from a dropdown selection, the filter is not yet applied. If they select an option, then the list filter should apply. And there should be a “select all” option to add to the dropdown component and filter.

Can you also make the logic richer, for instance for text properties, we can only filter if Equal, not equal and contains. Please add “does not contain”! 🙏
