Experience Builder Filter Widget Displays Domain Codes Instead of Descriptions

Evan_OKeefe — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 17:01:29 GMT

I had a complaint that the data filter widget in Experience Builder displays the domain coded value rather than the description. However, in the list widget filter it does display the description, as seen below.

Data Filter Widget	List Widget Filter

I have found one possible workaround by adding a new field and calculating the description from the domain using Arcade. However, rather than putting in a lot of paperwork for this, and adding to the data update workflow, I would like to find out if someone else has had this issue and if there is a setting that someone knows I am missing.

Thank you so much!

use unique pre defined values in the filter widget. you can set the label to whatever you choose.

@Evan_OKeefe, I think something is definitely off, I'm seeing both widgets handle the labels rather than the codes, unlike your situation. I would either contact support or post pictures of your configuration here. Did the codes change at any point? Do both widgets actually work to filter the data?

Thank you so much, Laura! The source type was slightly different from your screenshot, but using Multiple (predefined) worked. I appreciate the help!
