Hi @zachelrath,

I'm trying to add a custom filter to the table, but it doesn't show me the filter list. It just shows a button instead.
My CompetitionTeam__u field is a UI field which I'm trying to populate the values from another model.
Heres the snippet;

`var element = arguments[0],
$ = skuid.$,
$xml = skuid.utils.makeXMLDoc;
// Add some content to our area while we are loading it in
element.html('Loading...');
var originalSource = skuid.$M('PlayerStatistics');
var Statisticsdefinition = skuid.$M('Statisticsdefinition');
// Define our Model(s)
var allModels = [];

$.each(allModels, function() {
// Register each of our Models with Skuid
this.initialize().register();
});

// Define the XML for the component we want to show in our element,
// which we'll instantiate once our Models are loaded

//generate the table column headers dynamically, this is the main reason we used a custom table component
var statFields = [];
var statFieldsForModel = [];

// adding default fields
statFields.push('NAME') ;
statFieldsForModel.push({id: 'NAME', label: 'NAME', accessible: true, displaytype: "TEXT", filterable: true});
statFieldsForModel.push({id: 'CompetitionTeam__u', label: 'Competition Team', accessible: true, displaytype: "PICKLIST", filterable: true, snippet : "CompetitionTeamPicklIstRenderer"});

//dunamically adding the fields
$.each(Statisticsdefinition.data, function(i,row){
statFields.push(row.code) ;
statFieldsForModel.push({id: row.code, label: row.code, accessible: true, displaytype: "TEXT", filterable: false});
});

originalSource.fields = statFieldsForModel;

allModels.push(Statisticsdefinition);
allModels.push(originalSource);

var xmlDefinition = $xml(
''
).append(
$xml('').append(
skuid.$.map(statFields,function(statField){
return $xml('').attr('id',statField);
})
),
$xml('').append(
$xml(''),
$xml('')
),
$xml('').append(
$xml(''),
$xml('')
),
$xml('')
,
$xml('').append(
$xml('')
)

);

console.log(xmlDefinition);

// Load all Models --- this will:
// (a) populate all metadata
// (b) run the queries on the models

// Once the loading is finished,
// we'll build our components from XML
$.when(skuid.model.load(allModels)).then(function() {
element.empty();
skuid.component.factory({
element: element,
xmlDefinition: xmlDefinition
});
});`
