> Currently the time range filter in FilterBox is not tied to any datasource. It will apply to any chart that is in scope and has a time column specified, regardless if it's using the same datasource or not. > > The new [time filter in native filters](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/12946) seems to be tied to a specific datasource and field, I'm wondering how this time filter will actually work in the dashboard? > > Will it work like the old Time Range filter in `FilterBox`, or will it work on the selected `ds` column on the selected datasource? This will be changed shortly - the time filter won't be tied to a datasource, and will only have the time picker (no need for datasource, column etc). Also, the date column filter will be ported to native filters, and that one will obviously have a datasource. > If it's the latter case, we might want to redesign the whole thing to make users select filter type first before selecting datasource. The redesign is currently under discussion, and a change similar to the one you're proposing is in the works ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
