**Description**  
I want to filter the contact list where the account owner is the user. The contact is associated with the account table, and I use the lookup to get the account owner.

However, I don’t see the option when I do the filter settings.

I think this is a known limitation on collection filters with Big Tables, you can’t use a lookup column.

However, Glide is working on this specific part. There’s no ETA though.

I’m changing this to #Ask for Help .
