Can’t deselect tag when only 1 tag is selected. Pressing “Clear” will reset all filters and take me out of the menu.

Hi ​@Markus Pettersen,

Thank you for your feedback!

Pressing “Clear” will reset all filters and take me out of the menu.

Hitting “Clear” only clears the current filter section (e.g only “tags” in your example above), not other filters you have applied, and the filter drop down stays open. If you are looking at deselecting the last chosen filter value, is this not ok?

Hi Sofie,

You are correct, thanks for the clarification. Did some further testing after your comment and then this would be sufficient.

One note I still have is that when in the a sub section of the filter, say tags or name, and you click on clear then you are taken out to the main filter dropdown.

 

Just for context, the usage pattern in this scenario that made me report this.

  1. Selected a tag to filter on, clicked on apply, looked at resulted selection
  2. Needing a new selection, switching the tag, one of the following options
    • First select new tag, then deselect old tag
    • First hit clear, then select new tag

Both works, just not as I would intuitively expect.

I see, thank you for adding details!

I’ll share this with our design team - the aim is definitely that the behaviour shall be intuitive.
