Greetings! Wondering if any of you have come across something similar.

How do I make two filter components in an Airtable interface work together? I have a simple list view with two filters at the top, but I want to improve how clients select options. I tried linking the filters, but they don’t cascade. The only workaround I can think of is defining the relationships in another table and using linked records. Any other suggestions?

Hmm, is it that you want the options available in the second filter to be affected by the option selected in the first filter?  If so, I don't think that's currently possible I'm afraid.  I tried to figure something out with linked records too but couldn't get it working either and would love to know how you did it

I tried to workaround this issue by adding the first filter's options into the second filter, which allowed my users to type in the name of the first value they wanted to filter by to reduce the list:

Kinda clunky, but worked well enough for my needs to get by heh

 

Ah, what if we used a Blank Interface with chained record picker elements that acted as filters?

And this is the data:

It's also set up here

Looks great! I attempted something similar in a list view using filter options from linked records but couldn’t get it to work.

I need to set up multiple list views for each program and enable my agencies to filter records by program type, status, and other criteria.
