Im trying to filter a custom post type 'applications' view by the value of a custom field 'edit-application-status'.
This is a select box with 3 different values. I've attached an image of the setup of the custom field.

Thank you!

Hi there

You are trying to add a front-end filter where users can select the option, or you want a View with a fixed filter where you specify what should display?

It should be straightforward setting up such a filter, did you encounter a problem?

For a fixed query filter, see https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-a-view/#filter-the-list-of-posts

To add a front-end filter, see https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-a-view/#add-a-custom-search-to-a-view

Sorry Matthieu, there was a glitch in our system and this thread has been lost in no-man's land until now.

From that latest screenshot you are adding a query filter (so it will apply on every page load for this View) to only show posts where the edit-application-status is pending.

Is that what you want to happen? (Is it working?)
