We have improved the advanced filtering for smartlists to bring better consistency, clarity, and standardization. Earlier, filters had inconsistent operators across different data types and some commonly expected operators were missing. We have standardized how operators behave across date, numeric, and string filters while cleaning up existing logic. This update also resolves a long-standing issue related to future date filtering. The goal is to standardize filter behavior across data types while improving usability and reducing confusion for users.
