Search functionality for individual columns in list filter query disappears if Task Type is used in AND or OR - Known Error

Search functionality for individual columns in list filter query disappears if Task Type is used in AND or OR Description If a filter condition builder on a Task table includes the field Task Type . in an AND or OR condition, the search functionality for individual columns becomes inactive, and the Task Type field becomes read-only.

The field in question is of composite system class name type: . /sys_dictionary.do?sys_id=4a5712530f003100836f7f5ce1050e2b Steps to Reproduce

Log in to a demo OOB instance.

Open a list filtered as follows:

/task_list.do?sysparm_query=active%3Dtrue%5Estate!%3D6%5EORsys_class_name%3Dvtb_task

Note that the magnifying glass icon next to the personalize list (gear) icon is disabled and the Task Type column is read-only.

Modify the filter as follows

/task_list.do?sysparm_query=active%3Dtrue%5Esys_class_name%3Dgrc_audit_requirement

Note that the search icon is now enabled and Task Type can be edited.
