It currently doesn't work for me - situation being I have a dashboard with two indices and filtering by a field from one of them does not ignore the filter on visuals for the other index. I see this issue on GitHub,
>
where the issue is that this setting doesn't work for "certain filters". However, I can't find a single filter where this setting works. Any official word on what the status on this setting is?
Thanks 🙂
Edit: I should add that I've tested this on 6.4.0 and 6.4.1

@Bargs can you please take a look?
Thanks,

Silly question first: are you sure the field you're filtering on does not exist in both indices?
Second question: Can you give an example of a filter that you're having trouble with?

Yup, in fact neither index contains any custom field with the same name.
I am filtering through the dashboard, selecting a field that is of datatype `keyword` and using the `is` operator and choosing one of the autocomplete values. Here is the query DSL of one of the filters I have tried:
```
{
"query": {
"match": {
"category.keyword": {
"query": "A",
"type": "phrase"
}
}
}
}
```

@dimitriwalters Hmm I can't reproduce the issue, the setting is working fine for me. Could you provide a small example with sample indices that I can follow step by step to try to reproduce what you're seeing?

@Bargs Here's two sample indices with data that still doesn't work:
```
PUT my_index_1
{
"settings": {
"index": {
"number_of_shards": "1",
"number_of_replicas": "0"
}
}
}
PUT my_index_2
{
"settings": {
"index": {
"number_of_shards": "1",
"number_of_replicas": "0"
}
}
}
POST my_index_1/_doc
{
"field1": "A"
}
POST my_index_1/_doc
{
"field1": "B"
}
POST my_index_1/_doc
{
"field1": "C"
}
POST my_index_2/_doc
{
"field2": "A"
}
POST my_index_2/_doc
{
"field2": "B"
}
POST my_index_2/_doc
{
"field2": "C"
}
```
I created a dashboard with two data metric visuals for the count of documents, and when filtering in the top menu using a field in one index it still results in 0 documents for the other index.

Perfect, thank you @dimitriwalters. I see what my issue was now, I only tested saved searches and oddly enough the setting _is_ working for those, but not for visualizations. I've created a [github ticket](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/28784). I'll try to make time to look into a fix soon.
