Hi all,

I'm trying to filter values in lists in Bar charts.

But I end up displaying all values of list in Bar Charts

Example:

Here I'm trying to filter with language - English

Below field with list:

```auto
contentepisodes_ref.title
{
  "language": "Hindi",
  "text": "मास्टर होम डिजाइन"
},
{
  "language": "English",
  "text": "Master Home Design"
}

```

Now I filter with only English, but still end showing both values of list.

Anyway I can only show English i.e one of the values of the list.

Any ideas?

The filter only works in the context of the document. so if a document has that value on the field, it will be included in the aggregation. The solution would be not to have a nested field, something like:  
contentepisodes\_ref.english\_title: "..."  
contentepisoded\_ref.hindi\_title:"..."  
and then just do the aggregation on the specific language field or to split the initial documents into 2 documents, one with the hindi and another with the english title.
