How to make a filter mandatory?
Hi everyone,
I have a peculiar scenario where we want to make a filter 'mandatory'.
It is a single select filter with a pre-defined value but we don't the users to select none. Is it possible?

I was even considering the creation of a plugin where the user could mark the filter as mandatory (= that should contain at least 1 selected value), but I couldn't find a good event to link it to. I would need something similar to 'beforeFilterSelectionChange'... but again, I couldn't find any good event to attach it to.
If the filter is expanded, it's harder for the users to do it. But if it's collapsed (image), it is easily done.
Hi Will ,
Try this solution - add dropdown filter to dashboard and hide corresponding dashboard filter from right side panel.
