The idea for this post comes from DOMO support # 05895045
When you click on any card to create a page filter, the card becomes the 'controller' for that filter. Currently DOMO only supports table cards that control one filter at a time.
The original issue we observed was with pivot tables removing all filters when we tried to add more than one controller by adding filters from different cards.
There is additional context on the support ticket including an example.
