Filter Linked Visualizations When Filtered Field Exists in the Visualization

Linked visualizations currently only highlight when a value is selected in another visualization containing the same field; if a visualization does not contain the same field, then values are filtered. We need all linked visualizations to behave consistently as filters regardless of filtering field inclusion. Highlighting the value is problematic, especially when the field is a part of a list or crosstab visualization containing several rows in that the end user must then scroll through the list/crosstab in order to find the highlighted values which is not an efficient use of time. Filtering will allow the proper focus to be placed on the selected values providing the user with an immediate view of the filtered data. At present, our work-around is to add an additional field to the query bearing a slightly different name and use that in our filter visualizations ensuring those fields are not included in other visualizations. The current method of highlighting filtered values impacts all dashboard users in our organization.
