That addresses a complementary UX problem (filter bar crowding) from a different angle. **SIP #41498:** There's a formal SIP titled "Canvas-Based Custom Filter and Date Filter Chart Plugins" [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/41498) that directly covers this space — free-form filter placement on the dashboard canvas, treating custom filter controls as chart plugins, unified dropdowns/radio/checkboxes, and Tableau-style parameter swapping via Jinja. It also includes a Custom Date Filter component for canvas-based date filtering with localized scoping. Beyond these, I didn't find any older proposals, SIPs, or discussions in the repository that previously tackled the idea of placing filter controls directly on the dashboard canvas as chart plugins. The traditional architecture has kept filters confined to the dedicated filter bar, so this appears to be a relatively new direction for the project. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset).* --- Docs are dead.
