Wireshark · Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 12847] pdml protocol filter incorrectly filters desired subfields

[bugzilla-daemon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Comment # 2 on bug 12847 from Ashish Shukla

Thanks for the background!
In some use-cases e.g., analyzing most, if not all, part of the protocol tree
would be easier to just specify a top level protocol filter e.g., 'radiotap',
'wlan'
This make life much simpler as not all fields within this protocol is present
in each packet and also to know e.g., which all fields are present and analyze
differently.

On the other hand, I was under impression that there is already a way to filter
based on set of specified fields. So this was more of selecting entire
protocol/layer e.g., 'radiotap', 'wlan'.
I am fine with adding another option as well if we think we should leave
current option as is to support this new behavior?
Please comment?
Thanks
