Update filters automatically after creating a new tile

[Rub_moy]

Hey everyone,

I am facing the issue that, when a dashboard is already created and has lot of filters (we have some with more than 20 filters) and we add a new tile, we have to edit one by one all the filters to include this new tile :

Is there any way to do this task in a more dynamic way?
Thanks in advance for your time!

Unfortunately, in the user interface, this would be a feature request. If you have ideas on improvements please file a product idea or feature request within the Looker platform. Here are directions on how to do so!  https://www.googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/Exploring-Curating-Data/Dimention-Date/m-p/739125#M6404

One idea is to use the API to do this dynamically. https://developers.looker.com/api/explorer/4.0/methods/Dashboard/update_dashboard_filter?sdk=py

Thanks for the answer and sorry for the late reply. If anybody is interested, a workaround that i found is to duplicate a tile that already existed and its already include in all the existing filters. Then modify it.

Thanks!
