Description

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Create a property of type "person" on a card
  2. Try to add a filter so that a board only shows cards with that property not empty

Expected behavior

The app should allow me to create such filter, but I won't see the property amongst those I can use for a filter

Edition and Platform

  • Edition: Mattermost plugin
  • Version: v0.10.0 RC
  • Browser and OS: Firefox 93 on Linux

Research direction
The issue is about filter properties not including 'person' type fields. Investigate the filter UI component (likely in webapp/src/components/filter or similar) and the property type definitions. Look at how property types are enumerated for filtering. Check if 'person' type is missing from the list. The assignee may have started work; review comments for any hints.
