"Set filter" permission does not control Filter Inserters

Post by Mylon »

I tried removing filter behavior to limit it to a specific permission group, but that didn't seem to work. As last_user wasn't updating in 15.23, I tried turning off the permission to prevent griefing but that didn't help.

To recreate:
Change the player's permission group "set filter" permission to false.
Drop a filter inserter.
Open the filter inserter gui.
Case A:
Click a filter slot.
Change the filter inserter's filters by selecting an item.
Case B:
Pick up an item and click that item onto the filter slot.
Case C:
Copy an existing filter inserter and paste onto another filter inserter (This is blocked, behaves as expected)

Expected behavior:
Attempting to change the filter inserter filters (either via clicking a slot or dropping an item on the slot) fails, like in case C.

I tested these in 15.24

Thanks for the report however set filter is inventory filters. Inserters use Select Item to select item filters in the inserter.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
