    I am having an issue where there is repeating categories in the dropdowns:

    Screenshot Link »

    It looks like if any of the categories like “vine” for instance starts at the beginning of a table cell then it makes a repeat for when it does not start in a table cell – [Vine, video, etc] and [Video, Vine, etc] are both counted separately where it should be the same.

    Do you know what may be causing this?

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    I’m a bit confused. I don’t a duplicate entry in your screenshot?
    Also, can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

    Regards,
    Tobias

    In the screenshot, the repeating categories in the drop down start at Always on. Unfortunately, I can’t link you to the site since it is on an internal intranet. What is happening is if the category is first in the cell it counts it once then if the category is at another point in a different cell (not first) it counts it as a new one. Example:

    Row 1:
    [Always On, Auto Response, Choose your own Adventure, Collections Configurator]

    Row:2
    [Auto Response, Choose your own Adventure]

    In the above example, “Auto Response” would show up twice in the drop down because It is in the second and first position instead of counting it only once.

    Hi,

    ok, thanks for the explanation. What’s the exact Shortcode that you are using?
    The separator for the Column Filter Widgets should be ", " (comma and space).

    Tobias,
    I had somehow accidently lost the space after the comma. Thank you for the help. All fixed now. Very much appreciated.
