  Have you considered implementing a date range filter feature for columnControl?

  Yes, I was partly waiting to see if anyone would request it. You are the first, and I'm a bit surprised that it has taken this long, so let's hope there are some more asking for it so I can prioritise it over other things.

  Could you provide any information about the expected release date for columnControl version 1.1?

  Aiming for the end of the month. Disappointingly, although there have been multiple requests for the sever-side processing support that 1.1 will bring, there hasn't been any sponsorship of the feature. That was a bit of an experiment, and it seems to have failed, so I'll need to figure out some other way of trying to encourage payment / income so I can continue work release the extensions as open source.

  I’ve also been looking forward to the date range filter feature.

  Super - another vote - thank you! I doubt it will make it into 1.1 I'm afraid, but I'll keep it in mind.

  I find it surprising that I appear to be the first person to request a date range filter feature.
  In the meantime, I've implemented a workaround using a custom input filter with the Flatpickr library configured in range mode. This solution has proven to be quite effective and meets my requirements well.

  Superb! Nice one .

  I'm sure others have wondered about it, but you are the first I recall actually putting voice to that, and I need written feedback to help plan!

  Currently, I am also using Date Range Picker as an external filter for datetime data. It works quite well; however, using an external filter slightly reduces the user experience. It would be great if it could be integrated into Column Control.

  Hi @allan

  Have you also considered implementing array rendering for searchList in columnControl similar to what searchBuilder does with this code:

  {
      data: 'permission',
      render: {
          _: '[, ].name',
          sb: '[].name'
      },
      searchBuilder: {
          orthogonal: 'sb'
      },
      searchBuilderType: 'array'
  }
