This hook can be used to change the comparison operator for Lookup fields. By default, Lookup fields only retrieve values that are exactly equal to the selected/entered value.

Usage
add_filter('frm_set_comparison_type_for_lookup', 'my_custom_comparison_for_lookups', 10, 3);
Parameters
- $comparison (string)
- $parent_field (object)
- $child_field (object)
Examples
Change to like
Use the code below to change from the default equals comparison to the SQL LIKE operator for Lookup field data retrieval. The SQL LIKE operator checks if a value contains another value. Just change 123 to the ID of the Lookup field that you would like to use a like comparison for.
add_filter( 'frm_set_comparison_type_for_lookup', 'customize_lookup_value_retrieval', 10, 3);
function customize_lookup_value_retrieval( $type, $parent_field, $child_field ) {
if ( $parent_field->id == 123 ) {
$type = 'like';
}
return $type;
}
