Hi there!
Can you please help with the following -
When I'm running the following command -

When I pasted your content, I discovered a non-typical dash for - filtertype: age. I saw an emdash (ā€”) instead of a regular hyphen (-). That might be the cause.

O damn... you're right, it's working now.
Such a stupid mistake...

Thanks!
