Drop down list filter with all options selected by default

Hi there.

 

I would like to know if it is possible to modify the behavior of a drop-down list filter. The idea is to see all the options selected by default when the current value is All. Something like this:

Hi @djbc1986 ,

 

I do not think so.
ALL means no filters.

Weird requirement, but you can probably achieve it with a Bookmark. Drop down your list, select all of them, then save the bookmark. All the seleced value will be now selected. It however won't work as "default" when opening a report.

Hi @djbc1986 ,

As @mwegener said, it is not possible to select all by default. We only can click "select all" manually. Can I ask why the users wan to do this? If they need to view the content with all selections while opening reports, we can use "select all" feature and the filters will not be changed after closing reports.
