+Handling unknown fields with ``unknown_field_behavior``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``unknown_field_behavior`` option specifies how unknown fields are handled 
+in a ``FilterSet``. You can set this option using the values of the 
+``UnknownFieldBehavior`` enum:
+
+- ``UnknownFieldBehavior.RAISE``: Raise an assertion error (default)
+- ``UnknownFieldBehavior.WARN``: Issue a warning and ignore the field
+- ``UnknownFieldBehavior.IGNORE``: Silently ignore the field
+
+Note that both the ``WARN`` and ``IGNORE`` options do not include the unknown 
+field(s) in the list of filters.
