Description
The filter search option under the Run section on the Import from File Delimiter does not accept full stops in the column heading names. This is a relatively minor issue however the training material for new starters has a sample file with a full stop in the column name located here
Steps to Reproduce
-
Download sample file for testing from the link above
-
Click on Import from Delimited file
-
Load specified file and confirm the file headers have a full stop in them such as source.Name
-
Click in the search field above the attributes and enter search query, such as source.Name==“Greg” -> no results are shown
-
Create a copy of the file and remove the full stop. Load file and Repeat the same query search without the full stop -> results are shown
Expected behaviour: results are returned for ile headers have a full stop in them
Actual behaviour: as per repro steps - no results are returned
Reproduces how often: 100%

As a better fix, now the query allows trailing or leading white spaces in the column header.
I have copied the steps from above and executed. The functionlaity is working, ticket can be closed.
