In "Views" the Field "Field relationship: Relationship to use when querying multiple fields (AND/OR)" in query filters doesn't show up! (see Image 1.png)

I expect it as if Image 2.png showed up.

Hi, we just received another report of this issue and we have escalated it to our 2nd tier support team for investigation. It seems that the field was broken in a recent version of Views and Blocks:

It seems that a custom code workaround is required here using our PHP filters. I have asked for clarification about whether this was removed by design or by mistake, or just as a stopgap until the known issue is resolved. I'll let you know what I find out from my 2nd tier support team.

Okay I got some feedback on this issue, and it turns out several bug fixes related to custom search Views are tentatively scheduled for the next round of plugin updates in Views/Blocks. This issue is one we hope to see included in that upcoming development cycle. Until that time a custom code solution is required to use "OR" when combining multiple custom search field filters.

Did you need assistance setting up such a custom workaround, or were you just reporting the missing option?

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
