   - [✔] I have checked the superset logs for python stacktraces and included it here as text if any
   - [✔ ] I have reproduced the issue with at least the latest released version of superset
   - [✔ ] I have checked the issue tracker for the same issue and I haven't found one similar
   
   
   ### Superset version
   {"version": "0.25.5", "GIT_SHA": ""}
   
   ### Expected results
   For Filterable Tables, I expect single select to filter the charts. Multiple select defeats the whole purpose of using filter as a workaround to create a truly dynamic dashboard. Tableau's single select accomplishes this incredibly well, and even enables the single selected value to be passed on as a URL parameter in iframe embeds. Including this small fix would deliver immense value to end users.
   
   ### Actual results
   Select filter is a multiple select, and the charts filtered as a result provide little insight and for an end user it has no functional value.
   
   ### Steps to reproduce
   Filterbox widget. Select one value (single select and view the charts filtered to that value result).
   Next select another value on the filter box. Instead of the experience described in step 1, the misguiding multi-select behavior means a user has no selected two values with those charts display data from both. This adds confusion on accuracy of data, interrupts the workflow, and as against all things best practices for UI for a analyst user. In general, a single select option in filter box would deliver immense value for all end users, a great workaround to creating dynamic dashboards and makes the community more inclusive to those new to Superset, having experience with other BI solutions where single select on filter is just best practice, which can then even evolve into enabling single select filter on and passing parameters of the select into things like iframe url parameters
