I am trying to: Modify a filter in an existing view. I have created a "between" filter on a date field, but it is not working. I guess it is because I set it to "compare as SQL datetime" in stead of "number". However, I am not able to modify my filter. Is there a way to remove the filter on a field and reinsert it?

Hi Chris,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Actually date fields are done using the epoch timestamp so it needs to be set as a number.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Shane

Thanks, but I already figured that out.
However, I had to recreate my view for this, since I was not able to modify the filter in my original view!
Why is it not possible to change or remove + recreate the filter ?

Hi Chris,

Not sure why you can't modify the filters as this is possible.

Could you walk me through the exact steps that you did possibly adding some screenshots ? I want to see if I can replicate this by following your guide.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks,
Shane
