Got confused with very simple issue. Got totally forgotten how to select records from list of records by multiple values. For example:

[
    #record{id = <<"jgkjhgkjhg">>, value1 = 1, value2 = "string",value4 = 24}
    #record{id = <<"bvcxdgfss">>, value1 = 1, value2 = "test",value4 = 24}
    #record{id = <<"uytiubjhgs">>, value1 = 2, value2 = "test",value4 = 13}
    #record{id = <<"jvdsewsss">>, value1 = 1, value2 = "string",value4 = 15}
    #record{id = <<"kjffjghjhgfs">>, value1 = 2, value2 = "test",value4 = 67}
]

Need to select all records from list that have value1 = 2 and value2 = “test”.

You could also use a list comprehension:
[R || #record{value1 = 1, value2 = "test"} = R <- L]
