Conditional column filtering with pglogical replication

With PgLogical extension, I have tested the possibility of column

filtering (columns) and row filtering (row_filter).

But is there a way to do a conditional column filtering ?
I mean a way to filter a column based on a predicate, with pglogical (so

the filtered values won’t arrive on subscribers).

For example, with a replicated table t(a integer as Primary Key, b

numeric, c integer, d text), I would like to filter the column b when c
between 10 and 20.

Hello,

According to the documentation [1]https://github.com/2ndQuadrant/pglogical#row-filtering the row_filter is a normal PostgreSQL
expression with the same limitations of CHECK constraints, so you can do
something like: row_filter := 'c between 10 and 20 and b = ?'

The " row_filter " filters the rows and I don’t want to filter the row but only one (or several) column(s).

Actually, I want a column value on the provider to be filtered on subcribers when replicating.

For example, on provider :

a | b | c | d

-----+------+----+------

123 | 45.6 | 15 | abc

111 | 55.5 | 66 | def

on subscriber :

a | b | c | d

-----+------+----+------

123 | 45.6 | 15 | abc

111 | | 66 | def
-> b NULL on subscriber but the others columns are replicated.
