Hi,  
I have Controls visualisation with 5 dropdown menu. I want to achieve if I select a term in the first menu it will filters terms in second...fifth menu, then I select a term in second menu and it will filters terms in first, third...fifth menu.

Yes, a work around is via parent control, but then I must have 5 visualisation and filtering terms works only from the first menu (not from second...fifth menu).

How can I do that? Thanks.

unfortunately that is not possible at the moment, but might be a nice enhancement to the controls visualization

It is possible that this will be implemented in the near future?
