Hi Sebastian,
It is nice to hear how important is Superset for your project. There is a
whole filter refactoring, details are in SIP-49
<https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/issues/10285>. The
development is happening as we speak, feel free to comment, and add
feedback to the SIP.
Until the implementation of SIP-49 is completed, as a workaround, you could
add 2 filter boxes and cascade the input of one to the other. I did a small
demo <https://docs.preset.io/docs/small-demos#how-to-cascade-filters-values>,
as this has been asked several times, will this work for you?
