  • Checking [ Select All ] will check all filtering data types and read-only statuses (if all are checked, uncheck them).
  • Checking [ Other ] will check non-primitive data types.

Note that an icon ( readonly.PNG ) indicating read-only status is displayed to the right of the read-only data item.
