I'm looking to filter out data in response objects based on the value of a search term. The request below for instance, filters the data within the objects themselves, excluding a particular field (attribute.betaalmethode):

```auto
GET transactions/_search?filter_path=_scroll_id,hits.hits._source,-hits.hits._source.attributes.betaalmethode&scroll=1m&size=100
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "filter": [
        {"term": {"elastic_tag_subdomain": "utilizetestdev"}},
        {"term": {"elastic_tag_module": "order"}}
      ]
    }
  }
}

```

However, I want to filter based on a _value_ of betaalmethode.

My response for this field looks like this (inside the attribute object):

`"betaalmethode": ["PayPal"]`

I would like to exclude betaalmethode in the response objects when the value is ["PayPal"]. I saw some docs here:

> **[Common options | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.8\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/common-options.html#common-options-response-filtering)**

But I'm not too sure how I could apply any of it. It seems that it would be pretty straightforward if the filter is on the object property, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it on the value of the object property.

Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂
