Line Lists do not Filter on Dashboard

Just saying out loud that we have also noticed this and going to see if there is a fix in place with versions available.

Update: only thing I’m seeing is Continue which seems to note that this will never be possible. Shoutout to @Shapr0019 on another post (Period/Org unit filter in Line Listing App - #3 by ramavat):

The issue likely arises because DHIS2 Line Listing App has limited support for global filters such as period and organisation unit on the Dashboard. In short, the main dashboard-level filters do not cascade down or apply directly to the Line Listing App.

This is likely due to the fact that DHIS2 treats the Line Listing App as an external application, not as a core component. That’s why the app must be installed separately — it does not come bundled with the initial DHIS2 installation.

To work around this, go to the top-right corner of your dashboard and open the Line Listing App directly. From there, apply your filters within the app itself

Perhaps @joecooper can shed some more light on what if any plans have been completed/are in the works to better communicate the lack of filter or make it possible?
