Hi Everyone, I’m Meenu Hinduja and my husband Dheeraj Sudan, run a business. I’m trying to better structure my data so components like filters, relations, and lookups work smoothly in my Glide app.Right now, some of my filters don’t behave as expected, and certain lookup values aren’t pulling the data I need. I suspect it might be a data structure issue rather than a component issue. I’d really appreciate hearing how you approach this when designing your apps

Regards

Can you show us screenshots of your data structure and tell us what’s not working?
