**Question:**  
I need to create a static / un-changing filter so that only items with a value “Live” appear in a repeater so I see only the mentors who are currently active. So far I am not seeing a way to do this on the CMS data side to mirror to site or on the site side as referenced fields cannot be chosen as a filtered field.

**Product:**  
Editor X

**What are you trying to achieve:**  
Creating a static filter on a reference field.

**What have you already tried:**  
Tried on CMS collection side to mirror as well as on dataset for repeater - neither is available.

**Additional information:**
