getDomainAsync returns no values for combined action filter

[bartoszZamojcinRoche]

Hello,

In the dashboard there is an action filter that is combination of 4 different fields: "Action (Lifecycle Stage,Open Workstep is overdue (group),Product Family (Derived),Role)".

The action filter has a lot of values but when I am using getDomainAsync method of CategoricalFilter object it returns no values:

On the dashboard there are three similar combined action filters and for non of them getDomainAsync method returns any values. There are also action filters that use only one field and for those ones everything works fine.

Hi @bartoszzamojcin
The issue here is that values is an array, but in this case, the result is a table, since there are multiple fields involved. Internally, the filter code notices this and doesn't return the table. When the filter doesn't apply to all, the first field values are returned in the filter.appliedValues. For example, suppose I have an action filter on category and segment in SuperStore: "Action (Category,Segment)", and isAllSelected is false. The appliedValues would be as the image shows below.

Is there a way for you to notice this case and work around it? In the future we could enhance getDomainAsync to handle a table of values, but I'm guessing we wouldn't be able to get to it in a timeframe to meet your current needs.

By the way... we need to improve our current documentation on this also.

Hello @johnDance,

What is time frame for adding the functionality to handle the mentioned case, do you plan to add this any time soon? Also it's important for us from what version functionality will be available as the organization is bit behind the latest versions of Tableau.

Hi @bartoszZamojcinRoche Thank you for your patience, we're just now starting to look into this from an internal perspective. Unfortunately, I don't have any hard dates on when we expect this to be fixed, but we'll definitely let you know once we have more information to share.
