it'd be helpful to make testing of text values more easy with a new operator that allows tests against an array/list of values with the functionality of the operator "contains". it'd save a lot of test clauses like shown in the example below

Allow testing against an array of values - new operator "In Array"

+2hallo dale, hallo david,
thanks for your feedback, i know the "in" operator, but it doesn't work with text values as i wish! i mentioned obove the new operator should work like the "contains" operator as my left value "strecke" looks like -> a12, s12, b12, c12, a10, s10, b10, c10, t25, s25, b25, c25 .... and i want to filter all text values that contains [12,10,25,96,26]. i hope my question is more clear now, may be i didn't explain it detailed enough.

Agree that this would be useful, or the ability to use a wildcard with the In Operator.
In the past I have manipulated the left value before testing with the In Operator for this sort of scenario
e.g.

Hi @roland, in this case, the 'Contains Regex' operator might help you. e.g. the following regex filters text values that consist of a non-digit character and [12, 10, 25, 96, or 26].
- Operator: Contains Regex
- Right Value: ^[^\\d](12|10|25|96|26)$
