The Request

We want to display what value(s) a user chose in a filter field, either a field of type filter, or an explore field that is being filtered.

A Solution

Use liquid in the html with _filters !

The liquid for the _filters['view_name.field_name'] can't be used in sql but it can be used in html
 

Here is a working example!

dimension: show_my_dimension_filter {

html: {% if _filters['category'] IS NOT "NULL" %} {{_filters['category']}}

{% else %} no filter value {% endif %};;

sql: 'this does nothing' ;;

}

To link the dashboard filter, link it to the field category
