Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In the traces UI, the Kind column displays values like chain, but filtering requires using span_kind == 'CHAIN'. This mismatch between the displayed column value and the filter expression is confusing and non intuitive.
From a user perspective, it looks like filtering by kind == 'chain' should work, but it does not. Instead, a different field name and casing (span_kind == 'CHAIN') must be used, which is not discoverable from the UI.
Describe the solution you'd like
Align the filter field and value with what is shown in the table. Either:
- Allow filtering using
kind == 'chain', or
- Clearly expose
span_kind and its expected values in the column or filter suggestions, or
- Normalize casing and field names so the displayed value can be used directly in filters.
This would make filtering more intuitive and reduce confusion when exploring traces.
