In a text-entry field of a glide table, how to filter the text to remove accents (e.g. in Spanish ‘maría’…so that it returns ‘maria’).

Use the `Remove Text Accents` column.

Thanks Darren…  
I don’t find this configuration (remos text accent). I’m using an ‘Text entry’ component (…)

It’s not a component or a component option, it’s a column type in the Data Editor.

Let the user enter the data with the accents, then create a Remove Text Accents column in the Data Editor and point it at the column that contains the text with accents. The result will be a new column containing the data with the accents removed.
