Is Enhanced Filters Limits modification Possible in AppSync?

Question

I am using enhanced filters in Appsync subscription, I had a usecase that I need to provide more than 5 item in the list for `in` operator in Filters.
Is the any way that I can modify the limits ?

Answer

Hello,

Unfortunately, currently we are not supporting limit increase for enhanced filters.

However, as a workaround, you can use OR functionality to overcome the 5 element restriction on in operator. For example:

```
{
    "filterGroup": [
        {
           "filters" : [
                 {
                    "fieldName" : "severity",
                    "operator" : "in",
                    "value" : [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
                }
           ]
           
        },
         {
           "filters" : [
                 {
                    "fieldName" : "severity",
                    "operator" : "in",
                    "value" : [6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
                }
           ]
           
        },

]
}
```

This is also mentioned on our AWS Doc under the section - "Note that there are several restrictions for using filters:" which I am adding here for your reference.
