2020/05/11 - Changes in GraphQL filtering

To make the API more consistent and prevent ambiguous results we have changed how filtering works in some edge cases.

This is a big changeset, but should only affect edge cases and the minority of usages, following all the details.

• Changes to item fields

  • Boolean fieldFiltering fields with {eq: null} will return an error message in response payload. Before this change, the filter would have returned always an empty array. You can still retrieve fields with null value using {eq: false}

  • Color fieldFiltering fields with {exists: null} will return an error message in response payload. Before this change, the filter would have returned the same result as {exists: false}. You can use {exists: false} from now on.

  • DateTime fieldFiltering fields with, for instance {neq: "2020-04-09T00:00:00+02:00"} will return also items with null values. Before this change, the filter would have returned only for not null values different from 2020-04-09T00:00:00+02:00.
