That's not a bad request, but it can currently be done via scripting. I think it would make things easier for those users who aren't fluent scriptors and it would cut 5 or 6 scripts out of my setup if this was added. But incase you have an immediate need, here is what I'm currently doing:

I have a few scripts filtering based on custom fields and even dictionary items. I set it as the first action in the rule, but technically it's a filter that sets Field.ActionQuit = 100 to skip to the next rule if the filter is not matched.

I'll have to try something like. Still, I think there would be a performance increase if more filtering was native and not offloaded to external scripts.

I don't know about a performance increase, scripts literally take fractions of a second to run in most cases, but it would definitely be more intuitive as a filter option. I'm hoping a MOD might move this to the feature request section.

You can head over to the and create an idea for your feature request so that others may vote on it.

Thanks,
