These config options don't detect typos indeed. I would suggest "packing" that
expression into a RackCode predicate (that's done in Permissions editor):
define [runs IPv4] {$typeid_4} or {$typeid_7} or {$typeid_8} or {$typeid_12} or
{$typeid_445} or {$typeid_447} or {$typeid_798} or {$typeid_14} or
{$typeid_445} or {$typeid_447} or {$typeid_798} or {$typeid_14} or
{$typeid_50010} or {$typeid_50037} or {$typeid_50039} or
{$typeid_50018}
Once it saves Ok, you will know, that syntax is correct. After that you will be
able to:
1. use [runs IPv4] as the value of "IPv4 list source"
2. see the exact list of objects, which are picked by this predicate (set
"Suggest predicates in list filter" option to "yes" and look at objects filter
panel)
