Dashboard filter values are not updating

[evan_desmarais-]

TL;DR - Is there a way to manually force Looker to update the list of values available in Dashboard filters?

Issue:

I am in the development phase and have created a dashboard comprised of several Looks. There is a series of cascading filters at the top of the dashboard. I have had to update my data model due to schema changes (additions), and I have purged and loaded different data into BigQuery. None of the aforementioned changes affect any fields used by the filters (which are standard filters). Unfortunately, the filter values available to me in the drop-downs are still from a no-longer-present set of data. I have cleared cache and reloaded all looks, the dashboard, etc. and can confirm that all of those display the new dataset. The filters themselves are what are holding onto the stale values it would seem.

Has anybody run into this?

Thanks!
Evan

I'm struggling with this right now. I've even deleted and re-added the filter but the old values still show in the dropdown.

@masutaka-pay2 @MW_Analytics thanks, I see my filter suggestions had updated this morning. Makes sense that they were defaulting to persisting for 6hrs, as per your docs! 💡
