Hey all, I’m having an issue with a wildcard (\*) filter not working in the source filter of my Alarm Status Table, and not working in the Path of a system.alarm.queryStatus script. Incidentally the issue is NOT affecting my Alarm Journal Table. Similar to what was 1st reported [here](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/7-6-alarm-journal-source-filter-wildcard-not-working/6467) except this is a 7.9.5 install. When trying to use the filter \*Main Plant\* alarms that should be shown are not. Definitely _ **not** _ the goal I’m after! ---

Did you figure that out? I have the same issue. I updated from 7.9.2 to 7.9.5 this morning and the old wild card (\* )which use to work with older version doesn’t work anymore. ---

This is a known regression that slipped into 7.9.5; it’s already been fixed in 7.9.6. ---

Same as support told me…any anticipated release date for 7.9.6? This particular bug is killing me! ---

We are in the same situation but have bandaided it with the following > system.alarm.queryStatus(source=["\*"],all\_properties=properties = [("AlarmGroup","=","ML1")]) I don't know if you set a custom property for area on your alarms, but this works since we do. ---

Yep, I change the alarm status filter as a workaround after upgrading to 7.9.5…☹ Hope 7.9.6 will be released as soon as possible ! ---

FYI, I am getting it to work if I include most of the tag. For example sourceFilter = “prov:default:/tag:Enterprise/Burleson1/Extrusion/Line1/TemperatureReceiver/Transmitter\_007\*” alarms = system.alarm.queryStatus(source=[sourceFilter]) does return the following sources prov:default:/tag:Enterprise/Burleson1/Extrusion/Line1/TemperatureReceiver/Transmitter\_007/CommAlarm/AlarmBit:/alm:Alarm prov:default:/tag:Enterprise/Burleson1/Extrusion/Line1/TemperatureReceiver/Transmitter\_007/CritBattAlarm/AlarmBit:/alm:Alarm prov:default:/tag:Enterprise/Burleson1/Extrusion/Line1/TemperatureReceiver/Transmitter\_007/NoProbeAlarm/AlarmBit:/alm:Alarm prov:default:/tag:Enterprise/Burleson1/Extrusion/Line1/TemperatureReceiver/Transmitter\_007/LowBattAlarm/AlarmBit:/alm:Alarm prov:default:/tag:Enterprise/Burleson1/Extrusion/Line1/TemperatureReceiver/Transmitter\_007/NoProbeAlarm/AlarmBit:/alm:Alarm ---

Hi @paul-griffith Have you an ETA for the final 7.9.6 ??? we are speciality looking for the alarm source filter bug fix to upgrade our 7.9.4 applications. ---

Hi @paul-griffith, the 7.9.6 final release is delayed?
