What is the proposed idea/solution?

Currently, there's no way for an element (i.e. a Kanban element) to be connected to multiple filter elements.

This would be useful for example if a user needs to create an interface with multiple sections. The interface having a main general filter affecting all the elements in each section, and each section containing secondary particular filter elements.

The connection here would be "AND" between the filter elements.

How does is solve the user problems?

This would allow making the interface much simpler, instead of repeating the same filter elements over and over again across all the filter elements of the page, a general filter would be set at the beginning of the interface and the following optional/secondary filters would be left for each section across the interface.

Currently the interfaces with this approach are super repetitive and a user needs to apply a single filter multiple times.

 

How was this validated?

Hi, @gaston 
Has this idea moved forward?

Just bumped into the same issue. Designed an interface for tracking Project Pipeline and outstanding tasks (sub record is a "Task"). I set the Filter element to impact the <Project> status, so as not to have clutter in the side pane, but then it becomes neccesary to have a filter in the local <Project> tab to just show the status of the local <Task> items.

Have you found a solution to this? Happy to help!

Hey Diego!

Unfortunately, multiple filtering hasn't been solved by Airtable yet. 

Hope they read this at some point,

Cheers

Hey, Gaston! Thanks for the update.

@kuovonne  do you know who to tag/ how to make this visible to someone from AirTable? 

Thanks!

Solid start of week
