Destination Filters can't target properties or traits with spaces in the field name. As an alternative, use [Insert Functions](/docs/connections/functions/insert-functions/), which let you write code to take care of such filtering.

#### Can I use destination filters to drop events unsupported by a destination?

The check for unsupported events types happens before any destination filter checks. As a result, Destination Filters can't prevent unsupported event type errors. To filter these events, use the [Integrations Object](/docs/guides/filtering-data/#filtering-with-the-integrations-object).

When Segment sends an event to a destination but encounters a timeout error, it attempts to send the event again. As a result, if you add a destination filter while Segment is trying to send a failed event, these retries could filter through, since they reflect events that occurred before filter setup.
