Hey guys, looking for some guidance again (thank you for all the help so far).

I’m building a directory of funeral homes where each funeral home caters to different religions (most of them cater to multiple), and I’m tracking that data in 5 boolean columns; Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Taoist and Non-Religious.

The issue is when I add an in-app filter to filter the funeral homes by religion, they’re displayed as 5 individual switches. How can I display them as **checkboxes** that are **lumped into a single category** ; Religion (see the 3rd screenshot for what I’m trying to achieve).

Do you absolutely have to use checkboxes?

What I would do is use a multi-select choice component to write the applicable religions into a single text column, then use a split text column to create an array. You could then point the In-App filter at that split text column to get what you want.
