Hey all -

I’m rebuilding my app due to the depreciation of legacy apps. (I needed to make new features and edits anyway, so it’s easier for me to make a new one).

I successfully added in app filters to my “candidates” tab but every time I try to build a screen for my “employees” tab, the filter points to the first row of data instead of filtering by the header.

Here’s how I want the filters to work:

The screens for these are custom / custom / with collection lists.

Here is what the employee tab does (the first record worked in Fox Chapel as a Dishwasher and was terminated):

The screen is currently employees / custom list but I also tried to make new screens with custom/custom/collection list (employees) and got the same result.

I think there’s something wrong with how the filter is configured here. Can you share some screenshots on a sample of your data, and how you’re configuring the filter in the Employees tab?
