[native filter][cascading] Confusing user experience

How to reproduce the bug

1. I created a simple dashboard with cascading filter component:

• Simple gender filter,
• Name filter, and State filter (under Name filter)

1. Click on Name filter, there are 2 dropdown list for all Names filter showing up;
2. Pick a name for Name filter, you will see Name filter title became State filter, and there are 2 dropdown list for state.
3. If there are 2+ nested filter under same parent filter, the experience is totally chaotic…

Proposed solution:

When user created a nested filter component, what’s the best way to display dropdown list(s)? Right now we show 1 in the main component list, and also show another copy in the popover with child filter…this is definitely not desirable. Please reconsider the design and implementation.

How about only remove the popover for the family of drop-downs, just show all in the main filter list, but align them with some indent or box?

@graceguo-supercat this problem is not resolved. I just linked that comment to include even more context for when we discuss the solution.

@graceguo-supercat i totally agree your sentiment “If there are 2+ nested filter under same parent filter, the experience is totally chaotic…”

changes made in cascading popover were not well thought through due to the lack of design support. do you mind if i remove the p1 priority for now, and have a design sesh later on?
