I am looking to create sub-filters for my data table visualization. For example, once you select a filter (ex. "colors") a new set of filters would then pop-up which correspond to only this filter (ex. "red", "blue", etc.). Is this possible? If so, how? ---

@ryanerina no, kind of. but also yes. It's not possible in the data-table as you describe. But the input-controls visualization might get you there ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/add-input-controls.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/add-input-controls.html)). You can create a hierachy of controls using the `Parent control` functionality. ---
