vylc opened a new issue #7019: [filter box] filter box being filtered; error shown when no data returned
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/issues/7019
 
 
   Usability issues around filter boxes:
   (1) If there are multiple filter boxes on a dashboard, all filter boxes receive the "filter" from the other filter boxes on the dashboard. When a user saves a dashboard with preset filters, there is an edge case where no data is returned, and the filter box shows an error as opposed to rendering a dropdown that has no values
   
   (2) Default behavior for filter box dropdowns should be all distinct values in a table
   
   (3) Filter boxes shouldn't receive "filters" from other filter boxes unless explicitly specified (then we run into scenario (1)) There should be an option to enable receiving filters from other filter boxes
   
   MVP: At the very least, we should never show a filter box with an error, should just be a blank filter box.
   Better: Filter box to never receive filtering actions from other filters. Allow user to specify filtering via the Global Filters section. Always show the filter box with all distinct values in the datasource
   Best: Allow user to specify if filter box should receive filter actions from other filter boxes, but if no data returned, show blank filter box
