DataTable Custom Global Filter

[TylerFPM]

Is it possible to register a custom filter for the global filter? I have attempted to do this but can't get it to work by setting global: { value: null, matchMode: FilterMatchMode.CUSTOM } and registering the custom function FilterService.register('custom_global'...

For context I would like the global search field to be able to search values of one column which is an array of objects. I've been able to implement a custom filter on the column in question to achieve some filtering but would the global search to also be able to do this.

I don't think this is supported.

We override the global that way:

const [filters, setFilters] = useState({
        global: {
            value: null,
            matchMode: "custom_global"
        }
    });

and pass that filters to datatable filters property.
Using the whole thing with custom header={renderHeader} with an input, replacing the old one
<InputText value={globalFilterValue} onChange={onGlobalFilterChange} placeholder={"mycustom global filter"} />
