What we experience currently, February 2026, is the following.
In a Set Editor, we can specify if we want to choose for a string also among the descendants of the shown elements. This is good, it is an option button.
However, in a PAW book with a selector to the same dimension/set, it will always return hits from all the descendants too. Would it not make sense that the selector also has this same property? Then we mimick the behavior and the overall working is equal. Now there is a disconnect between the selector and the Set editor.
For instance, a hierarchy has 3 'trees' in it. The selector shows top elements from tree 1 and 2, and level 0 for tree 3. So when the user enters a string that is found in a few level 0 elements, these level 0 elements show up multiple times (coming from all 3 trees in the hierarchy). This leads to confusion and unnecessary scrolling/checking what the differences are.
I do understand that the MUN might be different but in the end, the user sees 50 elements and wants to match a string in any of the 50. Not in any of the 400 let's say when we include the descendants of all set elements as well.
Not under consideration at this time for the 2021 Planning Analytics roadmap.
Hello, I am not able to reproduce the issue you are describing. I am attaching a simple dashboard I built with a dimension selector. First I show how Cust06 is part of the dimension and therefore it can be found using set editor. Second, I show that GroupA set is shown on the dashboard that does NOT have cust06 element in it. When I use GroupA set in the filter on the dashboard cust06 element is therefore not found.
