Summary	0007007: Filter for custom field is lacking [empty]
Description	I have a custom field with the following properties: Type: String Min. Length: 0 Max. Length: 1 In some issues it has no value (i.e. it is empty) and in other issues it has one of the values "A", "B", "C". In "View issues", where I can set the filter criteria, also my custom field appears and I can select one (or in advanced filter mode even more) of the following values: [any] ... my custom field is no filter criterion [none] ... NO issue passes the filter (does this make sense?) A ... only issues, where my custom field has the value "A", pass the filter B ... only issues, where my custom field has the value "B", pass the filter C ... only issues, where my custom field has the value "C", pass the filter But there is no possibility to express, that only issues, where my custom field has no value (i.e. it is empty), shall pass the filter.
Tags	No tags attached.

You are right, it's fixed since 1.2 This issue was reported against an old version of MantisBT which is no longer supported. The issue is no longer reproducible on latest stable version [1] [1] http://www.mantisbt.org/download.php
