DUPLICATE: V2.1 Filters can't access query inside component

[FilWi]

Browser: FF 143
OS: Windows

I’ve got a query inside a compontent. The query itself is a property of the component, and I can set it from outside the component.

When I try to target it with a filter, the filter reports seeing the query, and I can add it and save it, bu then the filter doesn’t have any effect, and doesn’t see any of the query properties:

Here’s my system setup:

Hi @FilWi,

please take a look at this forum post and you can read other answersas well, to get more info on what is supported or not:

WIP: Filters inside a component not supported

Hi @robp, sorry for late response! It’s like that: Query filters should never be placed inside the component. Query filters should always be their own element Query filter can only connect to the component query loop, if the query loop is defined on the main element of the component. Those two things should be supported, so yes, that’s right. and yes to that as well. Filters can’t be placed inside the components and can’t taget queries that are inside the compon…

Basically, you have two limitations regarding components ↔ query filteres:

1. Query filter element should never be inside the component
2. You can only connect query filter element to the query, if it’s defined on the main (top) element of the component, but not if it’s defined inside, like in your case.

I hope I explained it well.

Thank you,
Matej

Thanks!

Here’s hoping the feature request will be implemented, at least the possibility to reach deeper than the main element, it would really do a world of good

Because this is not a bug, but a feature request and is the same as the other, I’ll mark it as duplicate, but I’ll also note it in our task for this.
We will update the original topic (one that I’ve linked above) with any progress updates.

Thank you,
Matej
