Hi András,

Thanks for the video, that’s so interesting…

My data was all populated using an import from a .csv file exported from MS Excel version 16.12 for Mac…

My original export was using the file type: “Comma Separated Values” and using a bar vertical bar between values…

In my events each value was correctly selected in my Additional Event Fields but in my search results it was showing the groupings with the bar.. (as in my photos previously attached)…

After watching your video I decided to delete my events and re-import them… Only this time I used the file type called “Macintosh Comma Separated”. This seemed to solve the problem.

Maybe something to further test on your end.

Hello András,

Thank you for your reply and your willingness to help!

The issue is that

an event

may have 1 (or more) distances available.

Our issue is that when an event has

more than 1

distance then the filter creates additional result (example:

Race 1 = 5M (this race only offers 1 distance)
Race 2 = 5M + 10M (this race offers 2 distances to choose from)
Race 3 = 5M or 10M or 100M (this race offers 3 distances to choose from)

Currently this would mean that the Filter Results in the following options:
5M
5M | 10M (<—- we don’t want this!)
5M | 10M | 100M (<—- or this!)
10M
100M

We need the Filter Results to only return only the options we included in our additional fields:
5M
10M
100M

If this True then if a user selects:
5M then the filter would return Race 1 & Race 2 & Race 3
10M then the filter would return Race 2 & Race 3
100M then the filter would return Race 3

Make Sense?

This type of scenario is very common in all kinds of athletic events and it’s surprising to us that it wasn’t built into the plugin.

Thank you so much for your help. I suggest this feature be included in future releases of Filter Bar.

Sincerely,
Justin
