Why is the Filter by Table argument disabled, and how can I enable it?

    Modern Control Table
    Hi @ CF-21071309-0 ,
    That “Filter by” label is just a greyed-out stub with no functionality. To get real filtering, you’ll need to implement your own logic— add filter inputs (like a Text input or Dropdown), and drive the Items property with your own Filter() expression.

    Please give the mentioned solution a try and let me know whether it works for you.
    If it solves your issue, feel free to mark this thread as answered.
    Please make sure to like the response!
    Thanks!

    hey
     
    modern controls can still be buggy and i and many other wont recommend using them in productive apps.
     
    as of now i would suggest sticking to the classic controls.
     
    there is no solution to buggy modern ones
