Need option to force filter selection of just 1 value Merged

We need an Filter option to enable selection of only a single value like a traditional dropdown.  Currently the only option for forcing a single selection is to use an Item filter which isn't a very standard or easy to use control.  We should offer a filter type of dropdown which could allow All or only 1 value to be selected.  We offer this as a property control but not a filter control.

While a drop down is the preferred option having the ability via filter scheme properties to limit a list box to only one selection would be helpful.  I have multiple customer that have had to create convoluted workarounds because of this minor missing piece.

    A few reasons, radio buttons are limited to only a few values (don't remember the (threshold) and also take up more real estate than a simple drop down. That said, I don't remember the specific use case from 4yrs back.

    Hello Kyle,

    The radio button filter enables to filter to one single value or all. Is your request strictly about the listbox filter?
