Hi Team,  
My data looks something like below:

```auto
{
"article_id": "122",
"product": ["all"],
"annotations": [
            {
                "label": "08",
                "type": "error-code"
            },
            {
                "label": "37",
                "type": "error-code"
            }
        ]
}

```

I am using below where filter:

```auto
{'operator': 'And', 'operands': [{'path': ['product'], 'operator': 'ContainsAny', 'valueTextArray': ['all']}, {'path': ['annotations', 'type'], 'operator': 'ContainsAny', 'valueTextArray': ['error-code']}]}

```

And I am getting below error:

```auto
{'data': {'Get': {'Class_name': None}}, 'errors': [{'locations': [{'column': 6, 'line': 1}], 'message': "could not extract filters: invalid where filter: operand 1: invalid where filter: missing an argument after 'type'", 'path': ['Get', 'Class_name']}]}

```

How should I build a query?  
I am using Weaviate 1.21.0 image and python weaviate-client 3.25.3.

Thanks in advance.

hi @Isaac_Yimgaing_Kuiss !

This is not supported yet.

Please, leave your thumbs up 👍 (so it can go higher in [our roadmap](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/roadmap)) and follow this Github ticket for updates:

> <https://github.com/weaviate/weaviate/issues/3694>
>
> \#2424 introduced storing of nested objects. The next step is to make filtering (…and vectorization for modules) available for them.

Thanks!

hi @NirmalSankalana !!

Welcome to our community 🤗

Not yet 🙂 But I know that this is in our radar and I can see some internal documents recently created around this, so I believe should be delivered down the road.

Unfortunately, I cannot give you an ETA as of now.

We will update this GH when the time comes.

THanks!
