Just starting to see if I can use Glide for our setting - we have an Airtable base with about 20,000 records across three or four tables. While trying to build my first couple of pages, I can’t seem to get the “Filter Data” to work (asking it to look for a string of letters in one of the fields). Do I have too many records for the filtering to work properly? ---

Are you subscribed at Pro level, need to be with that many rows. If not, not sure what happens.
