(Native) column menu and changing filters

[Tijs]

I am using the column menu from the example in the docs. However I have added a button outside of my grid that can be used to quickly set a preset filters by updating the filter field. The filtering works, but the column menu interface is not updated accordingly. What can I do to make the column menu react to changes to the filter field?

Hello Tijs,

Thank you for the provided example. The reported behavior is an expected one. 

It is a design decision that a programmatically set filter is being applied only to Grid's filter row and not to the filter of the column menu.  

Here is a modified version of the StackBlitz you sent me. It has a filter row activated and you can see that the filter applied on button click is being displayed in the filter row. 

I understand the behavior you expect to have but this is not a supported scenario and I cannot provide a workaround for achieving this functionality. 

If you think I could assist with something related to the current thread, I will be happy to help you.

Thanks for your response Petar.

It sounds to me like this is a feature waiting to be implemented ;)
