Field Filter Data Type

Hey,

Apologies for another question regarding field filters. I am not officially trained in database engineering so this issue is kind of going over my head. It would be of great help if someone could point me towards the problem or solution.

Essentially the filter widget type does not give me any options other than “none”. I have checked the data type (varchar) of the column that I am trying to map my filter to. I checked with a different table to check if this field filter was working with a similar column and it worked like a charm because it gave me an option of “category” in the filter widget type.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
