We have several tables with variants. Because a table variant can't have its own set of prefilters they all need to be defined in the default table. This means that when a prefilter in the default isn't relevant for a table variant it's ususally set to “off hidden” inside this variant. All good. However in some cases there's another variant of the same default where these prefilters are not only needed but also mandatory. Then the prefilter group needs to be set to mandatory in the default. However in that case all variants where all the prefilters inside the now mandatory group were set to “off hidden” before stop loading in the Windows GUI (and possibly Universal too). This makes sense because having only disabled prefilters inside a mandatory group is contradictory.
Because each variant has its own purpose we still want to be able to set a prefilter group mandatory for a specific table variant. The proposal is to make it possible to uncheck the mandatory tickbox in de default table and then make the same checkbox available inside variants. Then each variant can have its own prefilter on/off and group mandatory on/off combination.
As a sidenote: perhaps it should be made impossible to set a prefilter group to mandatory when all prefilters inside are switched off. And when a group is marked mandatory make it impossible to switch off all prefilters. This would prevent contradictory settings in SF and an empty list in the GUI. But the main issue for us is that we would like to be able to mark/unmark groups as mandatory per variant.
