I have a custom dropdown field "Method" that allows to set the means by which a record was added to the database. the options are "signup" or "manual". The field is hidden and not mandatory (yet). Via a recent import I have left the field empty on purpose. New additions will either be added via the signup form (marking the field as "signup") or manually (marking the field as "manual").
The purpose is to let an automation send a welcome email only to subscribers who signed up themselves.
My segmentation (see below) was simply selecting all with the field "Method" is not "manual".
However despite the fact that currently all of the records should fall into this segment, none are being picked up.
I'm puzzled. How can such a simple segmentation already fail?
I've tried a few other variations, too. None work, despite the fact that all records would fall into the selected categories:
Is this intentional or a bug? It's very limiting if the segmentation is only reacting to freeform fields. In fact is makes segmentation based on users' preferences selection impossible.

- not contains "manual" (obviously without quotation marks)
- is [EMPTY]
