    Hi,
     
    1. I cannot see your images, they are too small
     
    Can you please open your Filter array, I'd like to see the inputs as they are typed in. As well as sharing the entire JSON for the input and can definitely help you.

    The Filter Array action is nearly impossible to use, at least for me, because every time I type a character, the cursor jumps to the first character position. I assume the interns will never fix this bug, so I always use Notepad to craft the filter, paste it into the Advanced window, and then hope for the best. 
     
    Also, the syntax is fairly obtuse, as it's a reverse Hungarian notation, or some other pain in the ass that's unintuitive.
     
    For example:
     
        x= 5 and y <> 1
     
    is crafted as:
     
        and(equals(x, 5), not(equals(y, 1))
     
    So, it will take 3 or 4 hundred tries to get the syntax correct before you find the proper way to extract your desired item from the array.
     
    Post more info as desired, if you'd like a more specific answer.
