The filters Host check command (regex) and Service check command (regex) were rendered as a dropdown that auto-completed against existing check command names by literal substring match. As soon as a user typed a regular expression containing a metacharacter (for example check.*), the dropdown showed No results found and the regex could not be applied.

The filters now provide a plain text input, matching all other regular expression filters. Users who want to pick from the list of existing check commands can use the corresponding (exact match) filters introduced with werk #17926.
