MicrosoftHello all! I am sorry for the delayed reply on this thread. We appreciate all the feedback we have received, in this thread and though other channels, around the change to display "Filter Pills" for filters saved to views. Based on this feedback, we have tweaked the design to achieve hopefully a better balance. We would like to hear whether you all agree.
We broke down the filter pills feature into two parts:
We think 1 is unambiguously good - it's simply good user experience to communicate why the user is seeing the slice of items that they're seeing, and why some things are intentionally omitted.
We now understand, thanks to your feedback, that the goodness of 2 is not as straightforward. Views are often created with a particular intent. It's often helpful to create rails that guide users down particular paths; and giving everybody the ability to clear these filters can diminish the value of deliberate information curation.
The tweak we have made is this: we are restricting the set of users who can clear saved filters (#2 above) to users who have Manage Views permission on the list. So - if you have the ability to change the saved filters, you can clear them; if you do not have those permissions, then filters saved to views are locked as they once were and cannot be changed unless you switch views.
This change should now be live in all environments that have filter pills - please try it out and let us know if we've gotten it right.
