Custom Widget Filter Not Persistent

[TristanJonas]

Hello,
I made a custom widget to simplify the filtering process, it applies the filter just fine (for example, filtering by state will filter out all but the selected states in a drop down menu) but the moment I click any of the feature polygons in the map to see the attributes of that feature, the filter disappears and I can see all the states again.

Here are the relevant parts of my code:

// Apply filter function from BlocksBeadFilter.tsx
const addFilter = (): void => {
  if (!layerInfo) return
  const lyr = layerInfo.lyr

  // Build age clause
  const ageClause = (() => {
    if (!ageSelected.length || ageMin.value <= 0) return ''
    const flds = ageSelected.flatMap(l => ageMap[l] || [])
    return flds.length ? `(${flds.map(f => `${f} > ${ageMin.value}`).join(' OR ')})` : ''
  })()

  // Build all clauses
  const clauses = [
    buildInClause('ProviderName', provider.selected),
    buildInClause('StateName', state.selected),
    buildInClause('CountyName', county.selected),
    ageClause,
    buildGroupClause(bslSelected, bslMin.value, f => f),
    buildGroupClause(raceSelected, raceMin.value, lbl => raceMap[lbl]),
    buildIncomeClause(incMin.value, incMax.value)
  ].filter(Boolean)

  lyr.definitionExpression = clauses.join(' AND ')
  
  // Clear all widget selections after applying the filter
  clearWidgetSelections()
}

// From filterUtils.ts
export const buildInClause = (field: string, values: string[]): string => {
  if (!values.length) return ''
  return `${field} IN (${values.map(val => `'${val.replace(/'/g, "''")}'`).join(', ')})`
}

export const buildGroupClause = (
  arr: string[], 
  min: number, 
  getField: (s: string) => string
): string => {
  return (arr.length && min > 0) 
    ? `(${arr.map(a => `${getField(a)} > ${min}`).join(' OR ')})` 
    : ''
}

export const buildIncomeClause = (incMin: number, incMax: number): string => {
  const parts: string[] = []
  if (incMin > 0) parts.push(`ASQPE001 >= ${incMin}`)
  if (incMax > 0) parts.push(`ASQPE001 <= ${incMax}`)
  return parts.length ? `(${parts.join(' AND ')})` : ''
}

 Thank you for your advice.
