Why is it so hard to apply interactive filters in AGOL?

All i want to do is create some basic interactive filters in arcgis online that feed through into a web mapping application. I have a dataset with various attributes of text, numerical, and date fields and all i want to do is provide a drop down box for the user to be able to filter on them. Is there a max number of data types that shouldnt be exceeded? I have search the forums and all i get is a long winded way of creating domains and subtypes in catalog or loading in various scripts.  It should be a lot more simple than that surely? I have a good dataset of attributes (that I'm not going to type in manually in a domain). The hope is that the user in the web map can chose to filter on Stage, date completed and client using the drop down boxes based on the data that is in there. EsriCommunity-esristaff

Hi dlaw-esristaff‌,

Is there a plan for a multiselect type of filter of categories in Web AppBuilder? I think this would be very useful.

Hi Xander,

No immediate plans for this enhancement. Can you please post it as a new item on the ArcGIS Ideas forum for Web AppBuilder?

Thanks,
