Same problem again. You need to remove the DVL and add it again.

I added this code

As you can see the race number is not shown

I am not exactly sure why this happens and therefore do not have a clear list of steps to do. I’m thinking that this is due to custom DVL layout because I never seen it with default templates or it could be a new kind of error.

That was only my thinking. It might not be the problem that causing the values not passed from the DVL to the rest of the blocks.

Good morning to you,  
You need to change part of your design habits such as **stopping** adding duplicated `Data Sources`.

You also need to clean up the unused / unwonted `Data Sources`. Remeber, a `Data Source Connection` is for the file (Google sheet) and one connection gives access to all tabs.

Another thing is when adding a new DVL, you need to `Data Source` for it and you will see **Add** button to quickly add a data source but if this source is already added then you should use the available one without adding another copy of the same Google sheet.

The **custom layouts** of your DVL, whenever you change anything in the custom layout you need to reselect the layout from the settings of the DVL.

If you save the layout from the screen options then you will see an extra screen in your design. **DO NOT DELETE THIS EXTRA SCREEN**. The layout will not work when this extra screen is deleted.

I think these are the most important points to look for and keep in mind when designing.

I deleted the DVL from the screen and added a new one and also removed all the DVL related blocks for the blocks screen and added new blocks from the DVL I just added and now the filtering works.

For the screen navigation. Sometimes the cross referencing within the project gets missed up. What I’ve seen working in this case is to enter the screen name as **text**

See the project link

One thing you need to do for sure is to get rid of all unwanted data sources from the project.

This is really too much for a small project.
