External filter expects lower case field names

[r7lemieux]

I am using an external filter widget and passing the name of the fields and criteria into filterText. If the filter text contains upperCases, the fields are not recognized.

The problem appear to be in buildSearchConditions where the columnDisplay is set:
columnDisplay: columnName.replace(/\s+/g, '').toLowerCase(),

Then in evalFilter:
var col = self.fieldMap[condition.columnDisplay];

What is the intend of columnDisplay? Why set the field to lowercase ? Could we just remove columnDisplay and use the field name instead ?

Column display is used for cases where the the column header name is different than the field name and the user searches a column using the header name. The field being set to lower case was to make it so that the user didn't have to worry about upper case letters to search a column. It currently uses both columnDisplay and field name. The reason why it wasn't working, which you noticed is because the field names were also being set to lower case but when we were defining the fieldmap, we were not making the field names lower case which was the error you were seeing. I changed this line self.fieldMap[col.field.split('.')[0]] = col; to be self.fieldMap[col.field.split('.')[0].toLowerCase()] = col; in the latest 2.0.7 branch and now it works. Thanks!
