GraphQL Forbidden Error When Using _or Condition in Entries Query

[emran-alhaddad]

Bug description

What happened? What did you expect to happen?

When using an _or condition in a GraphQL query to filter entries, the query returns a "Forbidden" error. I expected the query to return entries matching either of the conditions specified.

Error Message:
Forbidden for _or condition.

How to reproduce

1. Create a collection named articles with fields title and short_description.
2. Run the following GraphQL query:

query Entries {
    entries(
        collection: "articles"
        filter: {
            _or: {
                title: { matches: ".*emran.*" }
                short_description: { matches: ".*emran1.*" }
            }
        }
    ) {
        data {
            ... on Entry_Articles_Article {
                title
                short_description
                date(format: "D-M-Y")
            }
        }
    }
}

3. The query fails with the error message:

{
    "errors": [
        {
            "message": "validation",
            "locations": [
                {
                    "line": 2,
                    "column": 5
                }
            ],
            "path": [
                "entries"
            ],
            "extensions": {
                "category": "validation",
                "validation": {
                    "filter": [
                        "Forbidden: _or"
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
    ],
    "data": {
        "entries": null
    }
}

Additional details

Is there any current way to use _or conditions in GraphQL? If not, is there an alternative or a planned fix for this issue?

Thank you for your help!

Have you enabled the filter in your GraphQL config file?

[jasonvarga]

Also, _or conditions like you've used isn't a thing in Statamic, nor is it a GraphQL standard.

It looks like it's a platform specific feature. Maybe you've used a service like Hasura or Strapi in the past which has support for an _or keyword.

I'll move this issue to the ideas repo.

Ok, So Statamic supports logical conditions like "or" in graphql ? or will this be in the upcoming versions ?

[jasonvarga]

It doesn't support it right now.

@jasonvarga @jackmcdade We work on over 25 projects annually using Statamic, and this feature is essential for our workflow. Could you let us know if there's an expected timeline for its implementation? This would help us avoid resorting to building a RESTful API as an alternative.

Thank you!
