Hi,

I have a HubDB set up, which has a multi-select colum.

I want my module to filter our specific rows in the HubDB based on what I entire into a text field on the page.

Using a text field, what I want to happen is that on the page this module gets added too, The code I have returns blank. I don’t know how to compare the item.name to the module.category value.

```lia-code-sample
{% set category = hubdb_table_rows(module.faq_table, '&orderBy=order') %}
 {% for row in category %}

			{% for item in row.category_select %}		
			{% if item.name == modul.category %}
 <div class="shadow">
 <div class="acc-btn" data="img{{loop.index}}">
 <h3 {% if loop.index == 1 %} class="selected" {% endif %}><span>{{ row.title }}</span>
 <img class="plus" src="https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/4351639/2019/assets-may-2019/plus-bold.svg" alt="plus symbol">
 <img class="minus" src="https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/4351639/2019/assets-may-2019/minus-bold.svg" alt="minus symbol">
 </h3>
 </div>
 <div class="acc-content {% if loop.index == 1 %} open {% endif %}">
 <div class="acc-content-inner">
 {{ row.content }}
 </div>
 </div>
 </div>

	{% endif %}
	{% endfor %}
 {% endfor %}

```

Ignore me. Friday mornings. I realised that I mispelt module. That fixed the problem
