Why is "starts With" not an available Operator on "type: char" field in this node?

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m using the Odoo integration and a node called Get many items.

I’m able to select the Name field, in the conditional section, but the operators list doesn’t include any string-like options. Specifically, “starts with”.

I can do a “starts with” conditional after this node, when I use the Filter node, but that forces me to return all items first.

Is there any way to work around this?

Hey @eneighten1000 ,

I have this solution which worked great with my node it brings everything that start with Moham for example here.

ignore the “fields to include’“ part.

Hi @AdnanJ ,

Thank you for your suggestion because it lead me to a viable solution. I wasn’t able to get yours working (below) but I paid a little more attention, to the operator list, and used like (further below) which is working well now.
