Match Text Filter - RegEx mode anchors aren't working for Model Layers?

I’m using the Match Text Filter component and it looks like the text anchors $ and ^ are not registering when filtering for a Model Object Layer.

Similarly, if I use the End With mode on the Contains Text Filter component, the output for the filter is empty. So I cannot use either methods to filter out nested layers.

In the first screenshot on the Match Text Filter, what did you set in the Key input?

It is set to Model Object > Layer.

Try to set this to Layer.Path

I see the path option now further down the list. I’ve been using the Layer option before and apart from this irregularity it had been working fine. Thanks!

I find the Key options a bit finnicky. Also it does not parse text panel input which I think would be a nice addition…

Yeah that’s what I immediately noticed when trying your suggestion. :sweat_smile:
