Issue With In-App Filter Showing Same Filters for All Users

Hi!

I’m having an issue with the directory app I’ve built and I’m not sure how to fix it. On the directory list, I have a search bar and ~5 in-app filter fields, however I’ve noticed that when a logged in user applies a filter on directory data, the next logged in user sees the same filters the previous user applied, when the default view should be no filters. How do I fix this?

Thanks for your help!

Are you using a choice component to create a custom filter? If so, make sure your column is a user specific column. Otherwise, I’d recommend you just use Glide’s built in in-app filtering:
any collection → options → in-app filter

I’m using the Options > In-app Filters, and I’m noticing that when I’m logged in as different users, the filters of the previous person set as the default.

Really? That sounds like a bug to me. You’re certain it’s just not a coincidence that they don’t have the same filters applied? Did you confirm this in the published app or just within the builder?

If it’s a bug, how do I report it for someone to look into it?

Right now my app is set to private (only users whose emails I add to the user table can access it). I gave myself access using my two different email accounts.

  • I log into the app with the first email, apply the in-app filters on the directory and logout.
  • I sign in with the other email, and the filters from the previous account remain applied as the default.

It’s driving me bonkers.

Can you record a video using Loom?

I sent you a DM with the videos

An update for everyone else: Clearing cache does work for “resetting” the in-app filter. I do think it can be considered a bug, so I asked @ina to create a support ticket.

Thanks so much for the help. I’m on the starter plan so unable to create the support ticket. But hope this also helps others!
