Data Source Filtering

Questions about Thunkable Feature Requests
1

Hi. Love to see the new filtered View and filter blocks in Data Source.

A couple of thoughts:

  • is there a “", i.e. when I update filter, I’d like to say something like "country=” to mimic a “select * from” SQL

  • set view-- would be nice to be able to dynamically set DataSource’s View but right now no blocks for that

  • the “get row” blocks in Data source don’t seem to be including the id (the hidden column of rows). Need this to be able to update things

  • I like the getFirstRow block, is there plans for getRows block to get multiple (filtered) rows.

Thanks and great work!

Hi David,

Just want to say thank you so much beacuse everything that I know in thunkable is because of your videos. They are great!
I still think it is very frustraring that Thunkable does not have a block to filter the data properly instead of doing it on the datasource which makes it looks ridiculous when the app has simultaneous accesses. It is such a basic feature.

Anyways, thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
