Hi @satya,

There are workarounds to deal with this situation.

Depends on the requirement for the TestInputSearch Box,

If it is required, then we could build a local collection to hold the Yes/No to True/False mapping, then add a Label control to show the true or false.

Steps should be:

1. Under the OnVisible property of the first screen, enter the following to generate the local collection:

ClearCollect(YesMap,
 Table({YesField:"Yes",TrueField:"true"},
 {YesField:"No",TrueField:"False"})
 )

2. Add a label control (Label1), within the Text property of the Label control, enter the following:

LookUp(YesMap,YesField=TextInput1.Text,TrueField)

3. After testing with the TestInputSearch.Text, and confirms that the true or false works, then switch the Visible property of the Label control from true to false.

4. Under the Gallery items property, switch the formula to:

Filter('ListName',Label1.Text in Active)

If the Search Box is not required, then please replace it with a Dropdown control, with items set to:

Table({YesField:"Yes",TrueField:"true"},
 {YesField:"No",TrueField:"False"})

Then under the Items property of the gallery control, switch the formula as below:

Filter('ListName', Dropdown1.Selected.TrueField in Active)

Let me know if you have any further concern on this issue.

Regards,

Michael
