Hello,
I am looking to generate child shapes based on the name of services within my booking.
Currently, with the childrenfilter to ‘Network’ as below, the shapes are being generated for all four of my Network services so it seems the filter is working as if I had placed character placeholders such as Network* or Network ??. The filter is filtering out the four destination services so it’s working to some extent, which I don’t quite understand. I thought a filter without a placeholder should either be met or not?
Services
When I add the below with a ? placeholder I still get all 4 network shapes appearing including the Network B0 & B1 shapes.
However, If I use the full name, Network A0, as the filter then I correctly get the 1 shape generated.
Is there an extra option I need to enable me to generate shapes if the name is either Network*, Network ??, Network A?, Network B? or Destination B? etc. so I can only show shapes as they match the specific filter or should the above be working?
Thanks,
Ross

Hi Ross,
The value for the filter on the name is actually a regular expression. This means that the regular expression ‘Network A?’ will match with all of your service names (since they all start with ‘Network’) and will occasionally include the character A in the match.
You can use ‘Network A’ if you only want the services that have a name that contains ‘Network A’.
Of course! Thank you, much appreciated.
