I am wondering why is the popup showing NA in the dashboard filters when we are not seeing it in the widget filters, well if i set it as the background filter in the dashboard then i won’t be able to view the data with all the values and toggle on enable button to compare with other widgets which is not expected
Thanks for the effort.

When creating a widget filter for a field that is already filtered in a dashboard filter, the widget filter will override the dashboard filter.
This also works in this case. When setting a background filter at a widget level, it affects only this widget.
As a result, we define which subset of data values is displayed in a widget.
And here we have a filter with N/A for the dashboard, while widget without it. And for the widget, it just overrides the dashboard filter. In some way, we 'cut' values in popup in widget filter for a designer, because a viewer doesn't see this filter. When making a selection on a widget, a simple filter is added to the dashboard with the selected part of the chart as the applied filter. But it will contain all values for the origin set in the popup.
