Background of the issue:
I am trying to search for strings by name in the WPML > Translation Management > Other texts (Strings) view. Before the 4.7 update, this was possible, but now the option is missing. Each month, I add new strings for translation, using the date as the name, such as '2025-06-29 description - short'. These details are visible in WPML > String Translation, but I can't send them for translation from there. I need to use WPML > Translation Management > Other texts (Strings), but I can't search or filter by name in this view.

Symptoms:
I cannot filter strings by 'name' to send via a translation basket in WPML > Translation Management > Other texts (Strings). The columns available are 'String', 'Domain', 'Source', and 'Type', but not 'Name'.

Questions:
How can I search for strings by name in WPML > Translation Management > Other texts (Strings)?
Is there a way to add the 'Name' field to the columns in the Other texts (Strings) view?

Hi John,

The issue has been escalated to our Dev team. Currently, the Translation Management > Strings section can be filtered by the string itself or its text domain.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Best regards,
Osama
