#1056 closed enhancement (fixed)

Description

It is very common to add filters like: 'Column' = "value"

The new expression editor now supports the "Column" part, but it should also be possible to read the "value" part.

This can take a long time as it is a query against the FeatureSource, so the user should actively retrieve the list of values.

What if a certain provider doesn't support distinct value fetching (slim chance but possible). Brute Force?

I would try to use the aggregate function to retrieve the (distinct) values, and if it fails, then fallback to fetching all values, and manual filter.

Fixed in r4202, except the "distinct" part.
