Visual interactions should not pass visual filters. Only the item on the axis selected in the parent visual should be sent to the child visuals. If there are any underlying visual filters in the parent they should not be passed.

I'm requesting restoration of t he original behavior. About a month ago it was changed so that the parent visual filter was passed as well. This is a huge reduction in functionality and has broken several production reports.

I thought it was a bug but am now informed it is "by design". Bad choice.

RE: Visual Interactions should not include visual filters

Visual level filters should not impact other visuals...that's why they are visual level filters and not page level filters.

I have a waterfall chart that shows the components that makes up the current year-to-date net growth (a visual level filter is applied to only show the current year) and a line chart that shows cumulative growth by week with year-over-year comparison. When I select a component on the waterfall chart it cross filters my line chart and removes the historical years (which is what I am interested in seeing). If it where a true visual level filter, it shouldn't filter any of my other visuals.
