Hey Everyone!

I’m trying to pull items if the item field contains a specific String, so what I’m trying to do is use the LIKE filter in the table.

For example, in our items table I type into the filter string area, “ownerName LIKE %tom%”. However I get this weird error of just a bunch of HTML code returned and this comment

“/\* Copyright © 2010, Yahoo! Inc. All rights reserved. Code licensed under the BSD License: [http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/license.html](http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/license.html) \*/”

I’m not really sure what to do here and any help here would be appreciated 😃

Is this is a MongoDB service?

If yes, this is a known bug, that I just filed today.

Just to clarify, there’s no action needed on the part of our users except to update to the latest DreamFactory release, 2.3.1, which includes df-mongodb 0.5.0. It has this fix included. You’re able to use the standard DreamFactory sql-like filtering syntax, just like you already can on all sql services.
