Plex Web: Version 4.55.0

[This bug](https://forums.plex.tv/t/bug-with-smart-playlist-when-adding-more-than-one-value-filter/617486/4) is either still occurring or a new variant now exists.

Here are the steps to reproduce.

1. Create a Smart playlist with an OR filter, and a type of "does not contain. Say Album Title does not contain “test” OR “example” ![Screenshot 2021-04-21 113756](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/0/3/0365ec249c297ba0833fb34d1a24268cd68a2e58.png)
2. Click Apply or Save and the Or is now transitioned into two lines ![Screenshot 2021-04-21 113901](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/8/a/8a593e2a29c7468da4d7b9571f72e4066c187973.png)
3. Add a third criteria click Apply and all looks well ![Screenshot 2021-04-21 114104](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/2/b/2bf164f3747372ecc76ce5a3f3a52b3baba9c260.png)
4. However, click Save and then Edit the filters and only the most recently added filter is still there. ![Screenshot 2021-04-21 114256](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/1/0/1097b4b056d1a6f5d8d3c15e9cff08cbe5054fc4.png)

It appears that Save only keeps the last of the “does not contain” filters for a given criteria type.

At the moment the only work around I can find is to manually create a new criteria with all of the OR criteria in a single line plus (or minus) any changes I want to make. Then the save correctly works as it takes that single line and splits it into the multiple.

☹

I hoped it was a new variant considering the age of your report and that it got marked as solved.
