<!-- Answer --> This is a known issue with "Select first filter value by default" and dependent filters. There's actually an [open issue #37393](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/37393) tracking this exact behavior in version 6.0.0 - dependent filters don't apply or clear properly when using this option. **Why the error message is confusing:** The [error attribution logic](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/dashboard/components/DashboardBuilder/state.ts#L55-L61) doesn't account for filter dependencies. It simply lists all filters with `requiredFirst=true` that have undefined values, so when Filter2 (child) fails to initialize, Filter1 (parent) gets incorrectly blamed because it also shows as uninitialized at that moment. **Root cause:** The child filter requests its data before the parent filter value is set, causing initialization to fail. [PR #34137](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/34137) was supposed to fix this in July 2025, but [#37393](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/37393) indicates a regression in 6.0.0. **Workarounds:** 1. Use explicit default values via the "DEFAULT VALUE" dropdown instead of "Select first filter value by default" 2. Only enable "Select first filter value by default" on the parent filter, not on dependent/child filters 3. Watch issue #37393 for updates on a fix <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot).* --- <sup>How did I do?
