You can now export only the products or orders whose metafield has the value you need, for example all products where `custom.wrapper` is `Indonesia`.

### 🚀 What's New

- **Metafield value filter** - filter products and orders exports by the value of any metafield, with or without a definition (see [Metafield value filters](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/12840202-understanding-filters#metafield-value-filters)).
- **Conditions** - use equals any of, contains, matches pattern, greater than, is empty, and more; text is compared without case.
- **More than one metafield** - add several metafield value filters, and each exported record matches all of them.

### 🔧 Improvements

- **Faster filtered exports** - when filtering is turned on for the metafield definition in Shopify, Altera gets only the matching records from Shopify (see [How fast a metafield value filter is](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/12840202-understanding-filters#metafield-value-filter-speed)).

### 🐛 Fixes

- **Start export button** - the button no longer shows "Start export" again for a moment before the job page opens.
