I have solved this limitation with a little trick. I have create a menú buton with a URL Link. I take the url that generate my app when I'm generate a filter with the table using the fields that i need, something like this: [https://myuser.knack.com/myapp#mypage/?view\_5\_filters=%7B%22match%22%3A%22and%22%2C%22rules%22%3A%5B%7B%22field%22%3A%22field\_127%22%2C%22operator%22%3A%22contains%22%2C%22value%22%3A%22something%22%2C%22field\_name%22%3A%22status%22%7D%5D%7D&view\_5\_page=1](https://myuser.knack.com/myapp#mypage/?view_5_filters=%7B%22match%22%3A%22and%22%2C%22rules%22%3A%5B%7B%22field%22%3A%22field_127%22%2C%22operator%22%3A%22contains%22%2C%22value%22%3A%22something%22%2C%22field_name%22%3A%22status%22%7D%5D%7D&view_5_page=1) ---

2019 and is not implemented by Knack team yet :-( Is a very necessary option. Use a filter menú with the fields being used as a table columns and not only the object's fields ---

I have a list of Statuses that I want a filtered menu yet I want to user to be able to filter as per their needs. I don't want to always have to compromise one or the other. ---

As records population grow, it's more and more necessary to combine filter menus with the standard all fields filter. Is there any chance for us to have this feature anytime soon? ---

Until this is not implemented by Knack team, I'm using a filter menu combined with a search box on the table. This may work for you until Knack team implement the proposed idea. Cheers! ---

Old post, but I still fully agree. I hate compromises! **BUT…** Here’s the ultimate solution: [Introducing Public Filters - a KTL feature to share filters with all app users - API & Customization / Show & Tell - Knack Community Forum](https://forums.knack.com/t/introducing-public-filters-a-ktl-feature-to-share-filters-with-all-app-users/13561) Let me know if this does the job, Normand D.
