Hi, using the new text filter feature where you can do "starts with", "contains" etc. How can I configure multiple in the same visual or dashboard? For example I want to set Does Not Contain "Project 123" but also Does Not Contain "Project 456". Seems like you can only set 1 conditional filter

Based on the knowledge sources available, I can see there is a beta API property called
enableMultipleConditions
for measure value filters, but the knowledge sources do not explicitly describe support for multiple text conditions (like "Does Not Contain") on the same attribute filter in dashboards or Analytical Designer. The
DashboardTextFilter2
schema shows a single
condition
and
value
property, suggesting the current design supports one text condition per filter. [API Docs] There is a beta feature flag
enableMultipleMvfConditions
for measure value filters specifically, but this is separate from text attribute filters. [Feature Flag Docs] Workarounds to consider 1. Use multiple filters on the same attribute: You could add the same attribute as two separate dashboard filters, each with a different text condition (e.g., one "Does Not Contain Project 123" and another "Does Not Contain Project 456"). Since all filters are applied as an
AND
intersection, both conditions would be enforced simultaneously. [Filter Visual Components] 2. Enter multiple values manually: The knowledge sources mention that you can type or paste multiple values directly into a filter for exact-match filtering, but this applies to exact matches, not text conditions. [Add Filters to Dashboards] The knowledge sources do not confirm that multiple text conditions can be stacked within a single filter instance. I'd recommend trying the multiple separate filters approach as the most viable workaround, or reaching out to GoodData support to confirm if this capability is on the roadmap. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button â„šī¸ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups. 👀 Our Support team monitors all messages and will jump in if needed.

Hi Mitch, Thank you for your question about the text filter feature — I want to follow up the response from our AI Agent. For clarification GoodData does not allow the same attribute to be added twice on the dashboard filter bar, so that suggestion would not work. Thus, there is currently no supported way to apply multiple text conditions (such as two "Does Not Contain" rules) on the same attribute, either within a single filter or through separate filters. Each text attribute filter supports one condition at a time, and this applies to both the UI and the API. We'd be happy to register this as product feedback to the team for consideration in a future release.

Hi @Mitch Gammie Project 123 and Project 456 are just substrings of whole project values? If the second you can use full value, then use regular attribute filter with elements selection or text filter with operator Not In if you know whole projects values, but they are not yet present in live data. If these values are just substring then unfortunately there is no option now to combine them by logical AND, only logical OR

Ideally setting multiple conditions would be preferable but otherwise if there was a way to add a filter twice without the system automatically removing it then that would work as well. The way I'm working around it is setting e.g Does Not Contain "Project 123" within the visual itself and then Does Not Contain "Project 456" on the dashboard so both apply
