Hi thomas, if you are federating using URL, update will not work..update only works for database connections. if nothing happens even though you're using a db connection, then either that column in your table is empty or there is a problem with the connection (maybe a password or something) update also only works on singleselect & multiselect filters

It did the trick. However, the "update" button doesn't work for me, nothing happen when I click on it. I was also wondering whether it was possible to affect a value different from the label of an item from the dropdown list. It actually relates to the custom labels for boolean filters, but somewhat generalized. This would allow for example, to display a nice user-friendly list of items to the user, but send to the server a more computer-friendly value when an item is picked-up (e.g. a numerical ID).

UPDATE button would fetch in the SELECT DISTINCT from the database for this column. the customised title for boolean filters (only, excluded) is amongst the TODO part of design, hence not available yet as far as i can tell - you can see these properties disabled in the property/value panel but these are locked unfortunately.

The webpage is currently displaying a combobox for this filter, with only one value: "no data". And the tooltip indicates t hat the filter is not available. I couldn't find where the potential values should be specified in the documentation. Could you please let me know how to do it? On a similar note, is it possible to customize the labels of a boolean filter (those displayed on the webpage)?
