Hi, I have seen several posts addressing this but I am having a hard time understanding them. I’m making a dating app. You can choose the kind of relationship you are looking for: love, friendship, fun… You can choose several of them. In the search screen, only users who are looking for one or more matching relationship types should appear. How do I achieve that? Thanks a lot! ---

You can do it like this, assuming you’re storing the kind of relationship as a comma-delimited list (i.e: love,friendship,fun if you get that from a multiple choice component). - Create a split text column to split the list of relationship kinds into an array. - Create a relation from that array to itself. You will get a list of people that matches at least one relationship kind, for each user. - Add a collection/inline list to the screen, have the source be the relation above. Filter out the “current user” (i.e: email/rowID is not signed-in user’s email/rowID) ---

Thank you for this reply. I’m using a Swipe component, is there a way to use the relationship kinds in the “Filter data” section instead of showing them in an inline list? ---

You should still be able to point your Swipe layout to be powered by a relation instead of using “Filter data”. ---

The thing is I have many filters on the Swipe: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/4/b4267c041c545469abd5d1ad1aa0afde6a881b4d.png) How can the Relationship Type filter be added to the ones already active? Thanks! ---

Oh sorry, I forgot that the Swipe layout does not allow you to specify a relation as its input as it’s on the tab level only. Please ignore my previous message. From the relation, you should be able to get a joined list of rowIDs/emails. Filter by rowID/email is included in joined list of matching rowIDs/emails. ---
