In App filter repeating items with same name twice

[Dilip_Adiga]

Hey Guys,

I have been using this really cool feature of In App filter in glide. I am wanting to filter based on "Field " though the names are exactly same, Its showing the same item twice in filter.

If we select both it shows all values under filter criteria

Any idea why this is happening?

Attaching screenshot for reference

Thank you in Advance.

Regards,
Dilip

Are you sure both names are identical, especially considering the spaces?

[Dilip_Adiga]

Yeah, Checked both names they are same. in fact one more UI element uses the same data. It shows only 1 item.

I’m sure you have names that look the same more than two. I can reproduce the same occurrence by simply adding a space at the end of a word.

To doublecheck if hidden whitespace might be the issue:

• In the Data Editor: Add a column to the right of ‘Creator Name’. Call it ‘Creator Name Trimmed’. The column type is ‘Trim whitespace’. Point to ‘Creator Name’.
• In the Layout Editor: in the configuration of the in-app filter, point to ‘Creator Name Trimmed’ instead of ‘Creator Name’.

Try that first to see if that fixes the issue.

Thank you Himaldin It had a space at the end.
