The issue: I have a collection as a component, and data is entered through the ‘Add’ button. This data then appears in the collection and corresponding table. My intention is for the collection to display all data from the user with today’s date. However, the problem is that all the data remains hidden when I close and reopen the app. The data in the table is displayed for a second and then disappears. I had set a filter for the collection so that the email address must match the user’s, and the date must be today, but I also tried without these filters. However, it still doesn’t work. Does anyone know what the problem could be?"

When you reopen the app, do you sign back in with the same email address?

When you tried with no filters at all, that data still does not display?

In the layout editor, have you tried viewing as a different user, as anyone?  
Are you using user-specific columns in your tables?

Can you clarify how you are adding the data that disappears? Are you using On Submit actions?
