Wanting Another Container Filter Type

Of the container filters that are available, I thought, or hoped that the filter:

   'currentPlusProject: Include the current folder and the project that contains it

might behave this way:

  "Include all folders for which the user has read permission in the project that contains the current folder"

instead, it behaves this way:

  "Include the current folder and the the root folder of the project that contains it"

So, how about making a new container filter type that behaves the way I want it to. You could call it:

"allProjectFolders: Include all folders for which the user has read permission in the current project."

Thanks.

Hi Scott, I think you can achieve this by using the currentAndSubfolders filter with the project as the container path. Something like this: LABKEY.Query.selectRows({ schemaName: "study", queryName: "StudyProperties", containerPath: "/VISC", containerFilter: LABKEY.Query.containerFilter.currentAndSubfolders, columns: [ "Container", "Label" ], success: function (data) { // ... } });
