Hi, I have a dashboard with a dropdown filter. As shown in the picture below, the list shows an empty option that I would like to remove. This is due to empty values in my database. I would like to know if it is possible in Metabase to not show empty values in the dropdown, or if I have to solve the issue at the source (SQL queries). Thank you
