Nested Dynamic Filtering on web parts does not work
I created a Sharepoint page and added an MS list web part, which I use as a "filter" selection. Then, I added a second MS list to display the main list of content items, configured with Dynamic filtering based on selecting the "filter" list.
Then, I added a Document library web part, which is again configured with Dynamic Filtering based on the selection of the second content item list.
Unfortunately, when you select an item from the "filter" list and then select an item from the second "content" list, the document library does not update based on the selection.
HOWEVER..
If I select an item from the second "content" list without selecting an item from the "filter" list, the document library updates and shows the filtered content correctly.
Any idea why it would not work and how to fix this? Seems like it should work

FYI: https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-docs/issues/9994#issuecomment-3048962796 and it was solved quickly. Had it happen a few times again and it was reopened, I think. However they have officially closed the case and everything seems to be working as expected.
I haven't heard back from MS support after I showed them the problem, but it is working for me as well. i guess they went ahead and fixed it.
I have an open ticket with MS support. I showed them the problem via a remote session, and I am waiting for a response.
Sounds good, hope they will sort it out soon. Please share with us any news if you don’t mind.
- I am having the exact same problem. Please update if you find a solution or any additional information on this issue.
JeffreyN2230 Hanne_Lauritzen I am still having this problem. I don't think nested dynamic filtering works.
As a test, I am using 2 list web parts and a list property web part.
The webpart is connected to list 2.
List 2 is configured for dynamic filtering based on list 1
When you select an item on list and then select an item on list 2, the list property web part does not update. it only works if you click first and directly on an item in list 2, circumventing list 1.
list property not showing because I selected an item on both lists.
list property worked when only selecting an item on list 2(middle)
jstander I am getting the same result now. The whole behavior of the dynamic filtering seems to have changed, actually. It seems to filter in a new way and the header is finally static (and not changing it to the item name, thank God!), so this is most definitely caused by these updates.
They probably haven't caught this issue with nested dynamic filtering! Create a support case on this in your tenant. I'll do the same and try to highlight it elsewhere as well.
jstander Sorry, I don't have a solution, but just tested this in my end and it works as expected and not like you're describing.
So I would look into testing this on a different site with different list/libraries to isolate the issue. Also you could try to test different browsers, to see if it is a cache issue (not uncommon in SharePoint).
Otherwise I would create a support ticket with Microsoft.
Thanks for testing this. I will try your recommendations; otherwise, I will open a support ticket.
Hi Everyone, I'm experiencing exactly the same problem. Does anyone have an Update on the issue?
