GroupID columns only supported exact matching, requiring rows shared across many groups to enumerate each group explicitly (e.g.,
Group-01 | Group-02 | ... | Group-N). This adds wildcard support so a single entry likeGroup-*can match multiple groups.Changes
TableView::isEntryInGroupCol: Replaced the two exact string comparisons (==) withStringMacros::wildCardMatch(storedGroupValue, groupNeedle), where the stored cell value is the wildcard pattern andgroupNeedleis the specific group being tested against — consistent with the convention inStringMacros::inWildCardSet.Example
A table row with this GroupID value:
will now match queries for
MyGroup-01,MyGroup-02, etc., without needing:Exact matches continue to work as before (no behavior change for non-wildcard entries).
