I am trying to use the “choice” filters for my matchmaking app
However, when I add two choice components and select them to filter, nothing changes in the collection
As well, in the data table, it looks like it is changing my actual data collection when I filter
Can you provide a loom please?

Can you show me the conditions that you settled?
I think he means the filters that you have set in your choice components. You can see the Options tab on the right panel, the filters are in there.

I meant the collection component filters. You probably settled “or” instead of “and” in your condition.

I’m sorry I don’t know what you mean, can you tell me where to go? new to this
It’s still doing the same thing, and the data at the bottom is changing based on how I click the filters. See how Jake’s gender changes from F to NB?
Two things…
- Your screen is connected to the same table that you are using for your collection, and your screen is connected to the first row of that table by default because you do not have any filters on the screen itself (that’s fine). Your choice components are writing to the columns in that first row. Changing the choices directly changes the values in that first row. If you don’t want that to happen, use separate user specific columns in the same table to hold your choices, or drive the entire screen from a separate single row table with user specific columns to hold the choice values.
- Second, your collection filter is not set up correctly. It should be filtering the collection based on the screen values of the selected choices. Right now you are just filtering rows where values are empty or not empty, and not even checking what’s in the screen choice values. Change your filter on the collection to filter row where the values are equal to the Screen values from the choice components.

I’m sorry I don’t understand. Can you tell me the actual steps to take? Sorry if this is novice, I am new to this.
Could anyone else help me with the exact steps?
I prefer a separate table to hold the filter values, but just to keep it simple so you understand the concept, we’ll use the same table.
- Add two text columns to your table. Make sure you select ‘User Specific’ when adding the columns.
- Then change your choice components to write values to those new columns.
- Finally change your collection filters to filter values in your collection table by the screen value of the values written to the user specific columns.
If you get stuck, share screenshots of what you have done up to that point.
I made two new user specific text columns Text 1 and Text 2
But then not sure about the third point, what do I actually click to make the collection filters filter those values? this is what I have, what should I change to?
