Selections: Advanced

Hi there, 

I am creating some selections on my catalogs. 

I noticed that you can only pick EQUALS or DO NOT EQUAL as the criteria. This seems very very limited. Is there a workaround that I can add "contains"? Or is there any plans to change this?

For instance, I would like to say voucher_id (ad_fr_1234 or ad_de_1234 or ad_es_1234) CONTAINS language (fr, de, es). Right now I don't have a language/country column but the info is within other columns at the moment. 

Another thing I would like to have start_date (2023-12-03T23:00:00Z) is todays date. Since the format of my date (2023-12-03T23:00:00Z) includes the time, I don't really know how to do this. I would have done:

start_date CONTAINS {% assign date = "now" | date: "%Y-%m-%d"%} {{ date }}

But the time is an issue. And of course I can't see "CONTAINS" as an option.

A workaround could be compare the first 10 character (2023-12-03T23:00:00Z) to {% assign date = "now" | date: "%Y-%m-%d"%} {{ date }} but I'm not sure how to do that either?
