Trouble creating blacklist rules for file paths

I’m having trouble creating blacklist rules for file paths.  Guides I’m finding say it should be possible, but when I try it’s only allowing me to use the md5 hash and not the path.  Any ideas?

    @syoung - unfortunately, blacklists do not support directory paths. Also note, any blacklists are treated as malicious files and will be removed/quarantined. Use them sparingly.

    Thanks,

     

    This functionality seems like it would be fairly easy to implement since the whitelists can already do it.  Are there plans to add this to a future version?  If not, is there somewhere to request this in a future update?
