[bug] [2018.2] filter-changed event not firing if filter was added from another sheet

See original GitHub issue

It looks like indirectly applied filters are not triggering the filterchanged event on sheets.

filter-bug

Sheet 1 is the sheet i’m listening to filter-changed events on. filter 1 (sheet 1) was created by adding a filter from sheet 1 and 1 (sheet 2) was created by adding it from sheet 2.

By adding from I mean using this button on the respective sheet:

untitled

EDIT:

just to be clear: both filters are set to “apply to worksheets > all using this datasource”

Hi. Thanks for the report. Is this happening on desktop or server/online, or everywhere? I am currently working on a related issue (https://github.com/tableau/extensions-api/issues/179), but that is a server/online issue.

Hi @johnDance

You may have to re-open this ticket/issue since Tableau Server (Tableau Online) does not register the dashboard action when you use the GoTo Dashboard action before it redirects to the new dashboard/sheet. We store the event of the dashboard action but it never gets stored because the GoTo action will have the user leave the dashboard and the extension does not get the important event of the dashboard action.

I can confirm it works in Tableau Desktop (2019.3 and higher) but on tableau Server the registration of the selection doe snot take place. I tested in all versions up to 2020.2 (Tableau Online) and i cannot get the dashboard action to be registered before the GoTo sheet/dashboard action will redirect to the new dashboard/sheet.

This is an urgent issue for us since one of our clients has indicated not to continue their subscription on the extension if this will not be fixed.
