how to specify ignore mask multiple columns in data compare

Hi,

I have to ignore multiple columns in a data comparsion (added_by_user, added_date, updated_by_user, updated_date).

I tried to use the "ignore columns by mask" option, and can successfully have auto-mapping ignore one set ('added*', or 'updated*') of columns or another, but it is unclear whether you can (or how you specify) a mask that would allow for multiple fields like those listed above.

Help?

Yes, such functionality is not available for the time being.
But we've already implemented it in the similar product (dbForge Data Compare for SQL Server).
Look forward to the next version of dbForge Studio for MySQL, in which this functionality will be included.
