[ic] using a filter returning database field using data tag - no filter?

[Jonathan Clark]

[ic4.6.4]

no reply yet, so can I suggest the following patch for tag_data:

Interpolate.pm insert the following at line 704:

	elsif ($opt->{filter}) {
		my $value=database_field($selector,$key,$field);
		$value = filter_value($opt->{filter}, $value, $field);
		return $value;
	}

(just before:

	#The most common , don't enter a block, no accoutrements
	return database_field($selector,$key,$field);
)

this will allow the use of the filter argument when using the [data] tag to
return a database field.
