I am using a Choices column to track product availability in multiple stalls. I want to filter products dynamically based on a user’s stall, but the `contains` operator is not available on Choices columns in any filter, template, or query. This prevents me from showing products only for the user’s stall. I would love to see Glide allow `contains` (or `equals`) between a Choices column and another column in the future. ---

I think what you want is to create a relation linking stall to the products for that stall. Then you can source your choice component from that relation column instead of the products table. ---

Thank you, I already figure it out.
