The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with proportional.
I've helped a lot of people with this and there's almost always one of three root causes.
**Most likely culprit:** a misunderstanding of the core requirement. This accounts for roughly 52% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. representation has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** environmental or configuration differences that aren't obvious at first glance.
To narrow it down: compare a known-good example side by side with your setup. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.

Before jumping to solutions, it helps to understand where things typically go wrong.
**Most likely culprit:** a misunderstanding of the core requirement. This accounts for roughly 62% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. representation has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** a dependency or version mismatch that silently causes problems.
To narrow it down: try proportional in the simplest possible isolated environment first. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.
