Filter using Slicer Card and Variable as the Input


I have a dashboard that I would like to display that has multiple dimensions (Var1) that I would like to see such as Region, state, and department. I would like to then use the populated list of items from Var1 as a filter card in the page.
The filter card would be, a list of regions, states, or departments that populate depending on which Var1 is currently selected.
The problem that I am currently experiencing is that when I select from Var1 when it is Region, selecting East, and then apply the filter, now when I change Var1 to State, the dashboard is filtering on Var1 = East (State = East) instead of Region = East and subsequently blanks out all the charts.
I could add filter cards for each Var1 individually, but after a couple of cards, this breaks down and leads to a cluttered interface. Note also that in this instance, I am looking for a solution that avoids filter views, and relies solely on interacting with the dashboard elements.
I have a demo of this in the Community Instance if anyone would like to take a look at this interaction.
Is this a bug?
Is this "Working as intended"?
Is there a way around this via another card type that I'm not seeing? Domo Bricks don't support variables per the help article on Variables.

That's how variables are configured to work. With your case here I think your best option is to stack your data in a dataset with different types of metrics / filters with the values to filter on and then have two filter cards, one for the metric type and one for the values. I know this will increase the row limit but due to the limitations with variables this may be your only option.
