We develop a dashboard for the visual analysis of data. For this purpose we use multi-select elements as filters. Since the input data sets have a variable number of different columns, we work with a metafile that defines the relevant columns as filters. To use these dynamically, we worked with a List object. Displaying the individual filters with the correct column names as well as the correct values works. Unfortunately, however, we cannot continue working with the selected values. We would like to continue working with variables on the basis of the selected values. Unfortunately, this does not work with the list.
As a workaround, we have now defined individual multi-select elements that are only displayed as filters in the metafile up to the maximum number of columns with the definition. This implementation allows us to continue working with the selected characteristics in the API request.
We wonder why this cannot be implemented through the list. It would be much more convenient and flexible to work with the list in this context. Do you have any experience or tips? Or is this a feature that still needs to be implemented? Thanks for an answer!
