I was very excited about the new drillthrough option in the September release and have implemented in my solution.
However I would like the option of having the BACK button clear the drillthrough filters.
I am using general report pages as drillthrough destinations and it can confuse the user if there are filters done "behind the scenes"

RE: clean drillthrough filter on back button

We need to make sure that clearing only applies to the drilled to page

Quite. It doesn't make sense that the filter doesn't clear.

RE: clean drillthrough filter on back button

I was going to submit the same idea. Report drill through is a fantastic feature, and works great if you only ever use drill through to navigate from one report page to another. But after using drill through, if you then navigate to the same report page manually the drill through filter is still applied and it gets a little fiddly and confusing. Having the back button clear the drill through filter would be perfect!

There is another idea for the same thing.
