I have a WMS Layer published by a geoserver instance. It has the capability of being filtered by a CQL Filter via GetMap CQL_FILTER query parameter.

Adding it to QGIS works, but I can't find a place to add a CQL Filter in QGIS.

There is an old issue about it: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/15626

Is there any progress on the theme or a work around?

QGIS is version 3.10.4 - but I'm willing to change it if it solves my problem

It is possible to work around this issue.

As the WMS layer is added, type the cql filter into the address/URL place and select in the options to ignore GetMap/GetTile URI reported in capabilities.

  • YES! Thank you! This also works for viewparams parameters, not just CQL queries. See also: gis.stackexchange.com/a/418516/12587

  • Assumes that the GetCapabilities and GetMap/GetTile are served from the same service URL, which isn't always the case
