SimpleType.setValidOperators() not working as expected

[michalg]

Hi,
According to the docs for SimpleType:

setValidOperators

public void setValidOperators(OperatorId... operators)
                       throws IllegalStateException

    Set of search operators valid for this type.

    If not specified, the inheritsFrom type's operators will be used, finally defaulting to the default operators for the basic types (eg integer).

    Parameters:
        operators - validOperators Default value is null 
    Throws:
        IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

Alhough, as in test case below and print screen attached, default validators are not replaced by supplied list.

Hi again,
Is there any way to restrict operator list just to: EQUALS and NOT_EQUAL by creating new SimpleType for custom type?
Thanks,
MichalG

You can restrict using the below piece of logic
OperatorId[] opArr = new OperatorId[]{OperatorId.BETWEEN_INCLUSIVE, OperatorId.EQUALS, OperatorId.LESS_THAN};
ds.setTypeOperators(FieldType.DATE, opArr);
filterBuilder.setDataSource(ds);
