Filters seem broken

Hi there.

I started editing a dashboard that I’ve been working on and noticed that one of my multi-conditional filters seems to have broken. No underlying data has changed, no fields have changed, and there is no reason that I can see for this change. What’s odd is that I effectively can’t see the field being used in the filter (they’re ‘invalid’) but the filter seems to still be working. I don’t like the idea that these may break without me being able to know. I also already tried recreating the filters. That works, but once I set them, the same issue occurs.

Has anyone seen this before? How might I solve this?

I’m having the same issue. All my filters are giving me an “invalid” warning even though I haven’t changed anything. I even reconnected my database just in case, but I’m still getting the invalid warning.

Hey, were you using Parameters in your filters?

Because I opened my reports this morning and found out all drop downs where I’d used Parameters to control reports are broken (Invalid control field) and I can’t choose the parameters from data fields. Has Google broken something about Parameters?

Just discovered the same.. :open_mouth:
Haven’t touched the filters, or the source but they look like below.
For me, it is also suddenly a language mix between swedish and english.
Got this issue for both Piwik and Data sheets as sources.
Saknas=Missing
For the source Piwik PRO I can see the fields, and they are green and correct, but as soon as I select one I got the red “Saknas” (Missing)

The weird thing is that the filters still “work”. What’s even WEIRDER is that this is only true in one of my dashboards. I have another dashboard that uses a compound filter where this is not happening. Only difference is that the broken filter is a series of OR logic, whereas the one that is not broken is OR/AND logic. Anyone else have something similar going on?

I am having the same thing. I have been putting in multiple OR filters for Full Page URL to group pages for our work departments in Looker Studio. It bringing in the data , but also giving me an invalid. I also noticed that when adding the filters my current year data goes from (January to present) and switches to (June to Present).

We have the same filter issue. which is the reason the data displays is completely wrong now. and making us stop using the dashboard. like a service disruption. Do you have an ETA to fix and increase the severity of the bug?

same issue, filter field is invalid and not working

Same issue! Filter seems to be working but the filter itself looks like all invalid / error. Makes it difficult to see what is actually working and what needs fixing.

Same here

We seem to be running into this at work too.

I notice that it seems like I can create the filters initially and hit save, but then when I go back into the filter it has “Invalid” on a red background, replacing the name of the field involved.

Hello community,
I’m experiencing an issue where certain widgets stop working when I group them with a filter (control). However, when I ungroup them, they work correctly.
Has anyone experienced something similar?
