Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Setting up dashboards might require linking filters to every other applicable filter. This can be time consuming when there are many filters to be linked to one another.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Add a checkbox or toggle in the **Limit this filter's choices** panel such as: “Link this filter to all others”.
When checked, the selected filter should be linked to every other filter in the dialog.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Manually linking all filters is possible, but might not be practical with many filters.

Research direction

The request targets the “Limit this filter's choices” panel used during dashboard setup, but names no files or tests. Start by locating that panel and its filter-linking flow; done means a checkbox or toggle links the selected filter to every other applicable filter in the dialog.
