Hi,

I have multiple dropdown filters as can be seen in the following screenshot.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/f/1f50fedf9467011411e04ba5fe3a0cf32c3f6b64.png)

As soon as I select a second filter from a dropdown, the first dropdown is reset and cleared. How can I achieve filtering by multiple dropdowns? I don't want them to be in a parent/child relation. Any dropdown should be able to be select first, followed by any amount of additional dropdown filters.

Cheers,  
Nico

Welcome to our community! 😃

Can you show us the settings for that control box?

Hah! I solved it.... the filters all need to be in the same panel (visualisation)!
