how to disable faceted search facet checkbox value with colon

ilmarskOct 18 2021

Hello,
Apex 20.2.0.00.20; Listener 19.4.6.r1421859; Oracle 18c XE
Implementing faceted search report on REST data source I run into two facets that have colons in large number of values.
As confirmed in this forum previously there is a known bug of faceted search filters not working with colon values. Unfortunately, the bug has not been addressed for over a year (multiple APEX releases) including the upcoming release 21.2 (tested today on apex.oracle.com).
From user experience perspective this creates quite a challenge. As this is a REST data source colon substitution is difficult and not desired. This leaves an option to explain to users that apex can not handle colons - do not click on those values or disable/gray out check boxes for all the facet values that have colons. I would like to pursue the second option, but not sure where to start. Any thoughts on the approach, code snippets, etc. is appreciated.
Thank you.
