I would also love seeing drill down/through functionality added to Superset! I think there are roughly two ways forward here: 1) adding drill down in the chart layer, much like has been done in #14688 2) adding support for hierarchical dimensions to the semantic layer. Both probably have their pros/cons: - Adding drill down to a single chart is fairly straight forward and wouldn't require a lot of changes to the rest of the application. On the downside it's slightly hacky and might introduce some design debt. - Adding semantics for defining hierarchical dimensions would make it possible to introduce drill downs into any chart (including native filters), but on the downside it's a fair bit of work and could take long to implement. As we're getting ready to kick off work for Superset 2.0, I'd personally vote for the second option, as I feel having full drill down support would be a very valuable (and cool!) feature. @betodealmeida , has any consideration been given to adding hierarchical dimension semantics to the new dataset models? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
