Custom Fields can't be used in a filter
Reported by Marcello de Sousa | July 22nd, 2011 @ 07:45 AM
Since 1.3 you are able to generate custom fields on the fly
based on the input from your resource provider. These fields are
shown in the UI but are not usable to create a filter.
According to Alex-SF (via IRC) this is an oversight and should be
implemented.

Some custom fields might also be a list (like tags). Perhaps Rundeck can interpret them if they are unquoted lists. Eg in yaml form,
- this is a list:
classes: apache,nginix
- this is a string:
classes: "apache,nginix"
Allowing a custom field to be interpreted as a list will facilitate tags-like filtering. Eg
- Include nodes that have a class of either apache or nginix
- `` -I classes=apache,nginx
- Include nodes that have a class nginix and a role web
-I classes=nginix -I role=web
- this is a list:

Is this partially implemented? Seems to work on command line "dispatch -p myproj -I environment=prod" but not form rundeck web.

The GUI simply doesn't support filtering by custom attributes yet. This is
supported in the underlying filter code, and the CLI tools. it needs to be
added to the GUI -

What about in the XML job description too? I really want to be able to specify a dynamic node filter using the custom attributes. That way I can define something like environment="production" in my node definition, and use a job option to specify the environment dynamically.
This will give me the possibility of making the option required. That way I don't dispatch commands to ALL environment by accident if the "environment" option wasn't specified.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about:
...
<include> <tags>web</tags> <env>${option}</env> </include> </nodefilters>
...

Yes, needs to be supported in the xml/yaml serialization formats as well too

Am also interested in this!
I am trying to get some puppet facts (facter -p) into rundeck.
I am using puppet-rundeck, to include those factsBut rundeck isn't picking those fields up in the include/exclude filters
