Newbie here - this is my first year teaching CSP and I have a couple of students with the same error in their hackathon project. Can someone that knows what they are doing help me figure out how to fix this please???

Update: We figure this out and have it working. Thanks for the help!

Thanks - we were getting an error each time. I had another student take a look and it was filtering when it really didn’t need to.

We did figure it out finally…with a little help. It was an issue with the database and how it was being applied. We fixed it and it works fine now.  
Thank you so much!!
