Related issues

• issue 35578 for Empty and Non-Empty conditions in AutoFilter.
• issue 35579 for Contains, Does-Not-Contain, Starts-With and Ends-With filter conditions.
• issue 77677 for multi-selection filter extension (spec) which also extends ODF's <table:filter-condition> element (already approved for ODF 1.2).

File Format

The filter conditions need to be stored in ODF. The accepted proposal for ODF 1.2 adds the values

• begins (begins with)
• ends (ends with)
• contains (contains)
•  !contains (does not contain)

to the <table:filter-condition> element's table:operator attribute. Does-not-start-with or does-not-end-with are not handled.

Proposed additional '!begins' and '!ends' attribute values to the OASIS ODF TC.

The change was approved by the TC.
