Expression Structure

Query structure consists of field, operator, and value:

For an expression like name==text, the structure is explained as follows:

Name	Description
`name`	Field ID or field name. Names with spaces can be wrapped in braces, e.g., `{single text}`
`==`	Comparison operator. Different field types support different operators, detailed below
`text`	Values with spaces are usually wrapped in double quotes, e.g., `name=="text 1"`

Note: field can only use characters other than system reserved characters, no spaces allowed. If spaces are needed, wrap with braces, e.g., {single text}

System reserved characters:

" ' ( ) ; , = ! ~ < > \n \t \r

Operators

Logical Operators

Logical Operator	Description
`;` or `and`	AND
`,` or `or`	OR

Compound queries combine multiple expressions to form complex query conditions.

Note: Only one type of logical operator can be used in a single query, they cannot be mixed. and and or cannot coexist, for example: ✅ Valid: single_text=="text 1";single_text=="text 2";single_text=="text 3" ❌ Invalid: single_text=="text 1";single_text=="text 2",single_text=="text 3"

Comparison Operators

Comparison Operator	Description
`==`	Equal to
`!=`	Not equal to
`>`	Greater than
`<`	Less than
`>=`	Greater than or equal to
`<=`	Less than or equal to
`=c=`	Contains
`=nc=`	Does not contain

Comparison Values

Usually can be strings/numbers, refer to the examples below:

Example	Type	Description
`text`	string	Text
`"simple text"`	string	Text with spaces, must be wrapped in double quotes
`123`	number	Number
`"123.45"`	number	Float, must be wrapped in double quotes, supports precision matching for number types
`true`,`1`	boolean	For checkbox field type cell values, these two can be true
`false`,`0`	boolean	For checkbox field type cell values, these two can be false
`null`, `NULL`	null	Check if cell value is empty, used with `==`, `!=` for judgment
`("option 1", "option 2")`	array	Array, can be used when cell is represented as array, used with `=c=`, `=nc=`, `==`, `!=`
