Unable to use $filter with complex $expand Entities

Hi there

I have the following $expand query with filter option:

/sap/opu/odata/sap/ZMYSERVICE_SRV/entitySet('ABC')?$format=json&$expand=parent/child1/childOfChild&$filter=parent/child1/childOfChild/propertyOfchildOfChild eq 4

I tried to use the filter with parent/propertyOfParent, which was working. Is it possible to use $filter with nested ($expand) structures like my example?

thanks for your reply

Sandro
