Description

So, if I understand correctly (and maybe im not because im fairly new to this) if i want to implement some Date range filtering on the grid I have to go the route of using external/custom filters? I dont really want to disable the internal filtering functionality for all of my other grid columns just because i need a date range filter. Ive tried capturing the user input via the grid.columns[0].filters[0].term on the filterchanged event, but it comes up undefined. Through all my searching the fix is always to go external..If that is the fix, are there plans to handle Dates in the uiGridConstants.filters?

If this is viewed as a dupe of #2321 I apologize. But im looking for a solution that stays "Internal". Thanks

Research direction
Investigate how internal filters are defined in uiGridConstants.filters and how they are applied to column filtering. Examine the custom filter approach to see if it can be extended internally. Consider adding a new filter type for date ranges with appropriate date comparison logic, ensuring compatibility with other columns. Reference issue #2321 for related discussion.
