# How to Filter Options in My Notion Relation Input Field?

Filtering allows you to display only relevant items in a relation dropdown — like showing only upcoming events, available slots, or active users.
#### Steps to add filtering to a relation field:
1. Click the **⚙️ Settings** icon next to your relation field.
2. Under **Relations Filtering**, select a field to filter by.
3. Click **Add a Condition**, then choose a condition (e.g., equals, not equal, after, before).
4. Set the value that the condition will check against.
5. Click **Publish** or **Save** to apply the filter.

> Use filters to customize the form experience, making selections smarter and more contextual for your users.
#### Notes:
* Ensure your related database is shared and accessible by NoteForms.
* If relation filter options are not loading or you see an error such as `Something went wrong when querying the relation`, first disconnect and reconnect the related database, then share it again with NoteForms.
* [Where is my relation field/column?](https://help.noteforms.com/en/article/where-is-my-relation-fieldcolumn-vaavxs/)

If the related database is already shared and reconnecting does not help, the issue may be caused by a temporary bug with relation filtering. In that case, please contact support and include your form URL, the exact error message, and the filter condition you applied.
