Hi Folks
Congratulations on yet another brilliant release
I was trying to understand the differences between vanilla
and Field Filter
variable types.
I can see how the Field Filters
are used in dashboards. And how URLs can be configured with params to automatically filter the dashboard (and hence the widgets). But had questions on the vanilla
type.
- I can also see how the
vanilla
type can be used to filter the question manually on the question page itself. But I was not able to pass a query param to this question (card) URL to automatically filter it by the requested param.
Is this by design ? Am I missing something ? - Also, while using a
vanilla
variable on the question page, I am not able configure it as acategory
, as on the dashboard filters page. This means that I cannot see a drop down with values to chose from. Again, am I missing something ? - Somewhat related : on the dashboard filters, is it possible to have a
multi-select
dropdown for the category ? So a user can select multiple values of the filter at the same time ?
