Hello! My dashboard has a Text or Category filter . Let's say the filter name is test filter and the condition is to contain abc. The code I used to generate iframe url is as follows:

METABASE_SITE_URL = "http://localhost:3000"
        METABASE_SECRET_KEY = "my secret key"

        payload = {
            "resource": {
                "dashboard": 1
            },
            "params": {
                "test filter": "abc"
            },
            "exp": round(time.time()) + (60 * 30)  # 10 minute expiration
        }
        token = jwt.encode(payload, METABASE_SECRET_KEY, algorithm="HS256")
        iframeUrl = METABASE_SITE_URL + "/embed/dashboard/" + token + "#bordered=true&titled=true"

I added the filter to params. The iframe url shows the dashboard but the added filter doesn't work. That is, the charts on the dashboard showed unfiltered result.
I also tried adding the filter at the end of ifame url like this: my_iframe_url?test_filter=abc but it still doesn't work, the result is the same as above, no filter applied.
Is there a way to add dashboard filter to the iframe url? Thanks!

Hi @qwer
If your Locked filter is test_filter then you cannot use test filter in params, it has to be an exact match, so you'll need to include the underscore. And you cannot change the filter via the URL if you are using Locked parameters, it has to be changed via your embed code.
