Searched the forum. Couldn’t find the answer. Sorry if I missed it.

I have a screen that shows an inline list of posts based on explicit user filters.

There are no posts for some filter combinations.

How can I detect zero posts and use as a visibility condition to display a message along the lines of: “No posts. Please try different filters”?

How do you have the filter set up now?

You would have to do something in the table with a rollup to count the rows where the filter is true. Then you can set component visibility to show a text component when the rollup count is zero.
