Filtering a List Lookup using "Contains" (Nintex Forms)

We have these two SharePoint lists, "List 1" contains a comma-separated "list" of tags, say "tag 1, tag 2, tag 3" etc.

 

In the Nintex Form for "List 2", we have a list lookup which we want to populate with items from "List 1" based on whether the tag column from "List 1" contains a certain tag.  

 

This cannot be done out of the box using Nintex Forms as the List Lookup filter seems to only work in a "Equals" sense.

 

I'm happy to use JavaScript for this but any pointers with how to start this off would be greatly appreciated, as my JS is not perfect.

 

Thanks

Neither "Responsive" nor "New Responsive" form allows custom java script, script is allowed only with classic forms.  Are you using classic forms?

Yes I am.  Responsive is far too limited at the moment for our needs.
