Hi,

I’m building a Qwik app which is a basic website, but where i can switch between different datasets. In that dataset, i got navigation infos (links in the navbar are supposed to change when switching dataset).  
So i have a section for my navbar in Builder UI, where i want to repeat a clickable text item for each navigation item.  
So i need to query the right dataset depending on a property in the state of my navbar section.  
In Classic UI Mode, i added an entry in Connect Data with a custom query (single result), “where Name \> Custom Query \> {”$eq": state.navName}  
But it always return the same dataset which is the first in the set of all my datasets, whatever state.navName is.  
What am i doing wrong ?

Here is the state in my section :

1. state: {navigation: Object, isBrowser: true, isServer: false, location: Object}

2. ▶navigation: Object

```
1. ▶data: Object

  1. ▶links: Array(2)

    1. ▶0: Object

      1. url: "sdfsdf"

      2. label: "L'équipe"
    2. ▶1: Object

      1. url: "#"

      2. label: "L'agence"

```

1. isBrowser: true

2. isServer: false

3. ▶location: Object
