Hi everyone,

I have a Visio-based View that dynamically lists all elements that are “under” that View (its child elements), similar to the standard “General Default” Visio: when an element is created or removed under that View, it automatically appears or disappears in the drawing. To allow filtering by severity, I added a Shape Data field called ChildrenFilter on the View shape.

In Cube, everything works as expected: each element appears only once and the ChildrenFilter correctly filters the child elements by severity.

The issue appears when I use this same View in a Dashboard. In Image 1, the Dashboard is using the View without the ChildrenFilter, and the elements are shown correctly with no duplication.

 In Image 2, it is the same dynamic View but with ChildrenFilter enabled, and you can see there is a larger number of elements, as if some of them are rendered twice. The duplicates have the same severity and color, and when I apply the severity filter via ChildrenFilter, only one of the instances is hidden while the other remains visible.

If I remove the ChildrenFilter from the Visio, the Dashboard goes back to showing the View normally, without any duplication. In Cube, using the same Visio with ChildrenFilter, this problem does not occur.

I’d like to know if this is a known limitation when using ChildrenFilter on Views inside Dashboards, or if it looks more like a bug in how the Dashboard resolves the child elements of this View. Has anyone experienced something similar or has any best practices for this kind of setup?
