Hi, community,
I have searched for this but could not find a relevant topic. Is there a way in PA to change the behavior of the breakdown element filter operation? For example, instead of an element x = xyz, change that to element x "Contain" xyz.
I have attached a picture for further clarification.
If that is not possible, are there any alternative solutions you can think of?
P.S. The Business unit is a glide_list field. Hence, why "=" doesn't work.

The source field may be a list but the breakdown element is a single sys_id. A breakdown mapping can accept a list but it will end up counting a single row in each mapping. This is generally correct but the total of the breakdown may be greater than the total number.

Thank you but my question is around the operation of “contains” instead of “=“. Even with one sys_id is it possible to filter for element contains “xyz” instead of the current setup that only filters element = xyz? As you know glide_list don’t accept ‘=‘ operation
