Can't figure how to filter via a dropdown value

[robinbeaudru]

Hi everyone, I hope you’re doing good !

I have some problem filtering a list of things via a dropdown value.

I got clothes, both of them having a category (top, pull, jacket…) and a repeating group which doesn’t change showed things via the filtering used value, corresponding to my dropdown value.

Whenever I select a value with my “categories’s dropdown”, the repeating group always show all of my things.

Categories are a dynamic list.

Here is a video showing what I want to do : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JINXrGTVeFs

And some screenshots of my settings :

I’m pretty sure it isn’t a big deal, I saw a lot of threads on the forums but none actually resolve my issue.

Have a good day you all !

why do you need to use “filtered” as opposed to just adding category as a constraint? Filtered will always be less efficient than using a constraint.

@SerPounce is right, you shouldn’t need to use filter in that case imo. Although don’t forget to tick the box “Ignore empty constraints” in the Search constraints.
I see you have two conditions on your RG as well, what are those? Make sure they don’t change the data source

Thank for your help, not at home actually I’ll try to constraint the « do a search » directly with the category.

What I think about is if I’ll be able to change the search with the drop down value.

I’ll tell you within few hours, thank guys !!

@ambroisedlg @SerPounce Alright guys, thank for your help, both of you were right.

The RG’s conditions were interfering with my “do a search” request, everything is working the right way now. Fellin like an idiot, I’m sorry.

For beginners like me, about those filtering questions, check the video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JINXrGTVeFs

Have a good day Bubblers !
