ExtJS does not send a query in the request if you click the checkbox for filtering on a grid using a remote filter for numeric columns, however it sends a filter object with an empty value if you click on the filter box for any other type of value.
Here is an example of what is sent on a non-numeric request when you click the filter checkbox for a column and there is NO value in there yet (I've decoded the url for ease of reading):
getData?_dc=1640804600546&start=0&page=1&limit=25&query=[{"operator":"like","property":"sleeveName"}]&node=root
Here is what happens when you do the same thing, but for a numeric column:
getData?_dc=1640804595175&page=1&start=0&limit=25&node=root
As you can see, there is no query param sent at all in the second one, and this is the desired outcome for me for the first one if possible.
