Description
### Environment
SaaS (https://sentry.io/)
### Steps to Reproduce
## 1. Go to a dashboard and create a dropdown filter with `+`. Choose the `Errors` dataset, in this example, with value `sdk.name`.
-
## 2. Create another dropdown filter in the spans dataset for the same value `sdk.name`
-
## 3. There are now two dropdowns for `sdk.name`, however, it is unclear which dataset each dropdown refers to and is confusing, because it looks redundant
### Expected Result
Less confusing UI experience when selecting a filter value across multiple datasets. It should at least be clear which dataset each dropdown refers to.
### Actual Result
See above

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the dashboard dropdown-filter entry point and reproduce the duplicate sdk.name case with the Errors and spans datasets. Trace how the two dropdowns are presented, then verify that the dashboard UI clearly distinguishes their datasets when both filters exist.
