"Select all" in the filter widget of the dashboard

The filter widget offers a "clear all" feature. You can set "All fields values" as a default values. So lets say you have 20 possible field values. The user opens the filters, all the fields values are pre-selected. He just wants one field value to be selected. He clicks on "Clear all" then clicks onthe field he wants. Fine. But now he wants to get back to all field values selected. He has to click 19 fields... A "select all" is absolutely essential for this filter widget.

I run into this with filtered results of linked records when often I need to select all of the filtered results and when there are several it’s a lot of clicking.

Hello Nica Stapel! I have a few more questions for you:
- Can you provide more context on how often users need to switch between one field value and all field values?
- Are there specific field values that users commonly select together, which could benefit from a grouped selection feature?
- Would a 'revert to default' option, which reselects all fields, be a suitable alternative to a 'select all' feature?

- It is a dashoboard, so users "play" with it all the time. I showed this dashboard to my client, and the first she did is that : clear all, choose one value for the filter, and then wanted to get back to all values. Now she is mad at me ;-)
- Maybe but I don't know yet
- Yes that would be great !!! Could it be available soon ?
