Question about "update last date in simple Date filter" #70

Closed Sedyshev-Aleksandr closed 3 years ago

Sedyshev-Aleksandr commented 3 years ago

Hi, is it possible to apply this component to a simple Date filter (not parameter)?
The problem is that the filter option for the date "Filter the latest date value when workbook is opened" doesn't works correctly. When data extract is refreshed, the checkbox for the last date is not updated. Thanks, Aleksandr

Hi @Sedyshev-Aleksandr, sorry this is only for parameters, unfortunately. You could however build your own extension that does just that, take a look at this tutorial for an idea on how to do it: https://github.com/tableau/datadev-hackathon/wiki/Update-a-date-filter-to-a-specific-range. As for the filter updating, I believe that option only works for single select filters, not multiple select with checkboxes. -Keshia
