List view filter on component field?

Discord Q&A strapi-questions

Hi, I’m setting up strapi for a non-technical content manager. I have a component used in multiple collections that has a field that I would like my content manager to be able to filter on within my collections list view. Is this possible? I only see that we’re able to filter on “top level fields”

This question made me think. Since sometimes I also want to do this, but the UI doesn’t let me. But the filtering also goes into the URL. And I just succesfully hacked a working deep filter into my URL.

If you filter something, you see the URL change to something like:
&filters[$and][0][contentTheme][$eq]=dark
if you change this to something nested, it works. In my example
&filters[$and][0][background][color][$eq]=grey
