if I have few Match Conditions, they act as AND conditionsand not as OR conditions.
i think it should by customized

Even if we can do OR using formulas, it is time consuming. Would be great to have an easy OR option.

I would be happy with the formula version for now

Formula versión is available philipp
When configuring your filter you have the following options

 All records
 Only records that meet certain criteria
 Custom formula

Choose custom formula. There you can use OR.

I suspect we are talking about different things. I am talking about the Match Conditions in a Table to Table relationship. Here the only choice is to selct Column from Table 1, Condition, Column form Table 2. There is no option to write your own formula.

My bad!!
Guess my brain was wishing to avoid having to do formulas in views when I need some ORs there. Thanks for the clarification.

Now I would promote this 10 times if I could.
I went into a situation in which I have a many to many relationship between a table of equipments, and a table of field service bulletins. Field service bulletins may afect equipment family or model. So, in order to be able to show the field service bulletins that afect a certain equipment, i need to compare if field service bulletins exist by model OR by family, and show both.

As of now, I have to build 2 diferent many to many relations from the same tables to be able to show them, which I could have done if I had an OR option on the MATCH type.

Thanks Philipp, hope this can be available soon.

Just want to bring this one back to life. I now have a number of situations where I am having to build awkward workarounds for this. I don't mind the development effort for myself, the problem is that I am having to show the user two tabs, one for the first condition being true and one for the second condition being true. User cannot understand why I am being so difficult.

I notice that for 1:m relationships there is the possibility of using contains as a match condition, but for some reason this is blocked for m:m. If that were enabled then I could built the logic I need with a combination of formula columns and using contains in match conditions
