Hi there,

I am having an issue with my Data Viewer List. I am using WebAPI with a filter on user. My DataViewerList was displaying all records despite my API filter. So I reviewed some post and some have used another local table. So I gave this a try. I am still using my main DB with Airtable that stores all my data and the local table as a temporary table. The issue is the record I get from the API returns as (1) record. But based on the Airtable DB there are 4 records associated with this user. Are you able to tell me where my code has taken the wrong turn? I am only returning 1 record each time and the same record is written to my DataViewer LIist. My filtered list has 4 record Id’s from the API that start with recXXXXXX.

Hi @justtreasurescdj5ps  
I suggest you use the filter view and not the Web API

Hello,

Thank you for your response. I actually used the WebAPI to pull my filtered record set and used a (1) temp table. I don’t know if it will work but wanted to see if this might be an option. These code blocks are for Screen1 of the DataViewList and I am not sure if the data will align on Screen 2 of the DataViewList..

I am using the Title Subtitle –\> display
