Hello All,
I'm coming back to a recurring issue you can find in my post history. After many attempts and taking some time away I've come back and I think I have figured out that the only way to implement our apps somewhat unique function is through advanced search.
I followed App Monsters guide on advanced search but it seems to be outdated and no longer applicable to Airtable's tags.
I have found several key differences from when he made the video and today some minor that I'm not sure if they matter and some, I believe are major.
Minor Changes:
Referencing Tables uses a different name in the API link; he used "Posts" but I think you need to use a more specific line, mine was auto generated by airtables.
He mentions several times your variable will change to blue in Bravo's API collection, if you format correctly but I think this has changed as well as I followed it exactly and it did not change. I also have other working variables that aren't blue
Major Changes:
App Monster uses the filterByFormula from Airtables in his API, but I don't think Airtables supports this function any longer as I cant find it listed and when run I get the following message

In addition he mentions you could also use the Search function however this returns my entire array without filtering anything:

And this is what I inputted for the last picture that returned an array
https://api.airtable.com/v0/app3h9WryaOEk5I4D/Table%201?search=FIND("${Searchinput}",CONCATENATE(Name, Group Code, Group Savings))
I would appreciate any direction on this issue, we've been struggling to figure out how to implement this for weeks. I can also provide more information if needed.
What we are trying to do is quite simple as outlined in previous posts, we just want the user to be able to look up their group code, and then return the group savings associated with that code. We dont want them to look through a list of other group savings hence GET List -> GET Detail wasnt ideal, and advanced search is the only way I can find of doing this
