Bases - Filter "does not contain" property excludes empty properties when it should include them

Steps to reproduce

Create file A, and Base B.
Create categories property in file a and leave it empty
In Bases B, filter by: categories does not contain “banana”

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide?

Yes

Expected result

Bases should plot the file A as a result, as it does not contain “banana”

Actual result

It doesn’t plot the file that has a empty property (as such, does not contain “banana”)

Additional information

this is the current workaround

also experiencing a similar issue with this

it should filter out if this file is mentioned in another’s file People’s properties, but it filters out any mention, even if out “people” property.

The moment I remove the pointed filter, the file that was meant to show up, shows up

think this resumes the whole thing
