Please add the functionality to create an hierarchy in markings.
Example case
I've three visualizations on a page which can be used to drill down:
For all visualisations counts that if no marking is set all data is shown.
Now I mark Europe in Visualisation A and Italy in visualisation B. After that I mark Asia in Visualisation A. Now no data is shown in Visualisation C since there is no row that is marked in Marking A and Marking B.
Prefered solution
Create an hierarchy Marking A -> Marking B -> Marking C, such that when Marking A changes, Marking B and Marking C are reset. When Marking B changes marking A should remain and Marking C should be reset.
Wim, thanks for confirming.
Niklas - we already implemented a similar work around as described in the blogpost, however as you mentioned it is not ideal. We have to implement it for many markings and reports and it also results in worse performance.
Wim - I do belive this blogpost indicates how your problem can be solve, albeit with some extra work: http://bispotfire.blogspot.se/2015/06/executing-python-script-based-on.html
We will keep the Idea open since there could be a more elegant solution but let me know if you think the technique described in the blog post can solve the usecase you are describing.
