Entity field condition with "Not Contain" target_id for field multiple values

Entity E have a field reference to Taxonomy T with multi value.

E.field_term.value = [
  ['target_id' => 1],
  ['target_id' => 4],
  ['target_id' => 7],
  ['target_id' => 9],
];

How to query the list of Entity E which not contain Term T (term_Id = 7). I expect some thing like this:

$query = $this->entityTypeManager->getStorage('node')->getQuery();
$query->condition('field_term.entity:taxonomy_term.tid', '7', 'NOT CONTAIN');

But of course QueryInterface::condition do not accept NOT CONTAIN as operation. Thanks for your help

This is not possible with joined tables. See https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/188969/how-to-use-entityquery-to-select-if-a-multiple-value-entityreference-field-does

Thanks @4k4 . seem like I should create a new field in the entity E to check for the condition.

The simplest method would be two queries subtracted with array_diff().

@4k4, Thanks. actually, I made it worked with 2 queries as you said before asking this question. but I hope that some where like %delta solution work also. but with your comfirmation, I know it's not available at the moment.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
