My app’s URL: [https://medeqpremed.glideapp.io/](https://medeqpremed.glideapp.io/)

The visibility function is not responding to the fields in the sheet. See the video.

I have the same issue with this I am not sure if the “text” column has a limit on the value we provide. although If I target email as value it works fine.

Can you show some of the column data in the sheet? The way it’s acting seems to allude to the First Name being empty. Is it truly filled?

The name is filled and the status is filled.

Nothing is jumping out to me. It all looks correct. Can you try changing the compare for first name from ‘is not empty’ to is not blank?

That or remove the visibility conditions and re-add them. Worst case, recreate the component.
