layer filter IS NOT

[Wish List System]

Summary: easier way to filter layers that do NOT contain specific property

Description: currently you can use a "~" to specify that a layer must not contain a specific property. I have run into a situation where I am trying to specify that a layer must contain certain text but must NOT contain a specific color. If I use only the MUST NOT property it shows me layers I do not want to see (as these layers contain names not applicable). If I add the name it is show me all layers containing name and ignores the NOT colour.

If any experts could offer a solution it would be greatly appreciated. If not Autodesk please look into this!!!

Perhaps like this?
The Name column I put PG_* to show all Layers with name PG_*
But in the Color column I put ~[1-3] which means to filter out any Layers with Colors 1, 2 & 3
