I’ve seen this question asked many times AND WIX has provided some minimal guidance, but it’s not working for me. I KNOW I’m missing something ridiculously simple, but I’ll be damned if I can find it.
I have a data collection.
I’m generating dynamic pages from it. These pages are essentially product pages (product index pages).
On, let’s say, the CHAINSAWs product index page I’ve added a drop down to filter by GAS or ELECTRIC.
WIX told me to add a second dataset to dynamic pages, to allow for filtering. So I did.
However, when I go to add the filter to the non-dynamic dataset, it throws an error: “All the inputs on this page are already in use. Please add new input element”.
Permissions are set correctly for the non-dynamic dataset.
I used a ‘fresh’ drop down menu input element connected to the new non-dynamic dataset.
For shits and giggles I tried connecting the Drop Down menu input element to the dynamic dataset too.
I don’t know what else to try. I’ve exhausted my searches online for a solution and I now turn to the ridiculously knowledgeable community for help.
I can’t see any used code. Where is your code?
Code? No code. Is this new Velo forum not for non-Code questions as well?
No, not really. This is a CODE-related forum.
Anyway, some tips for you.
If you want to create a filter in wix → yes you can use implemented wix-options like DATASETS and DYNAMIC-PAGES and so on.
But as i know, in many cases you will drive with the Wix-Element-Ferrari against a very hard wall, if you want to create a flexible filter with own features and functions.
If i would you, i would create my own filter, for example like i did it here in that example.
Of course it do not have to be in such a complexity, but you can build an almost identical FILTER with using VELO-CODE or in combination of both CODE+DATASETS.
Here is an Filter-Example, i made to demonstrate what can be dode, by code…

You can give me an excerp of your DT-PRESET, and i can implemet it, to give you a better view, how it could work with your DATABASE.
Just need a screenshot of your DB-structure. (first 2-lines are enough).
@russian-dima Hi bud. Thanks for the information. I’ll be honest, I’m a little apprehensive as I am in no way a coder. Sure, back in the late 90’s I hacked raw-coded HTML… but those days are LONG gone. So modern coding kinda freaks me out. My current filtering system using NON-coding is working for ONE filter. But as soon as you want to add a second or third, they simple don’t work despite what the WIX instructions for adding multi-filters tell you. Very frustrating.

Yep! Exactly what i was talking about!
I saw your “wanted” PRESET and i will generate a DB-SLOT for you in my example-tool.
Just wait for 5-10 min, and it will work for you …
…pending …to be continued … 
You are ready to go (it’s just an example, of what can be done by code…)
Your “PRESET” is READY (ok, sorry —> took 5min more then expected 
)
By the way some paralel-topic…
https://www.wix.com/velo/forum/community-discussion/how-to-filter-dynamic-page-with-search-dropdown-and-selectiontags
I am almost sure, that i have generated the DB in wrong way
Forgot to show you the generated “DB-PRESET/SLOT”…
