I have a lookup column and i can see its data in the data editor, however when i try to use that data to filter a component, it sometimes works, and sometimes glide thinks that cell is empty. But is not empty.

any ideas what’s going on?

There’s any condition to display that data? I think you can look if a certain condition is modifying the values

Did your Lookup column retrieve data that is under the ownership? Are you trying to lookup a value that you are not the owner of?
