DataLion Release 2025.2.187 – instant dynamic filters, per-chart filtering, smart codebook mapping

🚀 Highlights

Faster Filters — No More Page Reloads! — This is a big one. Global filters now update instantly via dynamic dropdowns. Changing a filter no longer reloads the entire page, making dashboard exploration dramatically faster and smoother. Once you try it, you won’t want to go back.

✨ What’s New

  • ⚡ Dynamic global filters: Filter dropdowns now load data on the fly and apply changes without a full page reload. Navigating large dashboards with multiple filters has never been this fast.

  • 📊 Per-chart filter menu: Each chart now has its own dedicated filter menu with AJAX-powered dropdowns — giving you granular control over individual chart data without touching the global filters.

  • 🔘 Custom buttons in filter bar: The global filter bar now supports optimized custom action buttons, giving administrators more flexibility to design the perfect filter experience for their users.

  • 🧠 Smart codebook column mapping: Importing a codebook? DataLion now suggests column mappings automatically based on your data structure — saving you time on repetitive setup work.

📈 Improvements

  • CSV import now accepts #, @, and . characters in identifiers, with clearer error messages when validation fails.
  • Login page auto-fills your email from the URL and focuses the password field — one less thing to type!
  • Password reset now shows clearer validation feedback so you know exactly what to fix.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Case numbers in sorted multistack charts now display correctly when no filters are active.
  • Fixed global filter dropdown positioning and toggle behavior.
  • Chart translations are now properly merged instead of overwritten, preserving all settings.
  • Single filter selection now correctly closes the dropdown before navigating.
  • Fixed a warning on the password reset page.
