Description Charles Crouch 2009-02-19 16:33:00 UTC 
Right now we have "=", "starts with", "ends with" and "contains", we should have "!=" too.

Arguably you could negate all of the conditions above, but "!=" was the one a customer asked for specifically.
Comment 1 Joseph Marques 2009-02-19 17:13:54 UTC 
charles, do you mean adding another substring function:

resource.name.notContains = "RHQ"

or do you want a new operator:

resource.name != "RHQ"
Comment 2 Charles Crouch 2009-02-19 22:29:08 UTC 
See case 268166 for more details.
Comment 3 Joseph Marques 2009-02-26 18:40:29 UTC 
to do this properly, i'd have to support the logical opposite of all operators today, which is startsWith, endsWith, contains, and ==

Comment 8 Jay Shaughnessy 2014-05-05 15:11:04 UTC 
It's unclear what this pertains to anymore, a new RFE should be generated as needed.
