Hello, I need to create a button on the dashboard to enable a filter based on the value of X. At the same time, when you click it again, the filter is removed. Please tell me how to create this button.

Hello @SYGH,
Welcome to the community!
Which version of Elastic are you using? You can use [Kibana Controls](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.8/add-controls.html) and add the filter panel to your dashboard.

I use Elastic Stack v 7.17.9. I known about controls, but I don't want to use them because I don't want to enter a value every time.

In this case you can simply save a filter to your Dashboard.
Click on Add Filter \> edit your filter \> Save

Note: You can disable and re-enable the saved filter whenever you want, so there's no need to delete it and create a new one each time.

I know about such a feature, but I want to create a button in the dashboard itself for filtering.
I was able to write the code for the button, but I don't know how to modify it so that it sets the filter when clicked.
```auto
{
"$schema": "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega-lite/v5.json",
"title": "Filter by mccmnc",
"signals": [
{"name": "filterMCCMNC", "init": null}
],
"data": {"url": {"%context%": true, "index": "edr-*"}},
"selection": {
"click": {
"type": "single",
"fields": ["mccmnc"],
"init": {"mccmnc": "XXXXXX"},
"bind": {
"input": "checkbox",
"name": "X",
"description": "Filter by X",
"value": "XXXXXX"
}
}
},
"autosize": "none"
"width": "2cm",
"height": "3cm",
"mark": "rect",
"encoding": {
"color": {"value": "lightgray"}
},
"transform": [{"filter": {"selection": "click"}}]
}
```
