This renders the dashboard mostly useless. Users cannot navigate between the rest of the municipalities themselves.

Please also allow the option to simply select that choice instead of filtering out all the rest so it would look more like this with the rest of the choices still there:

Recently had a call with ESRI support on this same issue. This is much needed for our users. We have a parent dashboard that contains high level information and then multiple child dashboards that have more in-depth information on those categories. 

Being able to automatically select a category selector value using a URL parameter would be huge for our users.

YES!! This would be a truly significant improvement to real-world dashboard functionality.

Come on Esri....
