Description
Hi,
I am writing a custom visual and would like to know which filters are applied to it.
If the isDataFilterApplied property of the dataview's metadata tells me weither the visual is affected by external filters or not, I can't find a list of filters anywhere, neither in jsonFilters property (this one contains only the list of filters set by the visual itself apparently).
I can't figure out any useful use case of the isDataFilterApplied property.
Meanwhile, I would really like to know if there is a way to get these external filters somewhere.
Any undocumented API maybe?
Could it be part of a feature request?
Thanks for your help. 🙏

Research direction
Start by reviewing the custom visual API's dataview metadata, especially isDataFilterApplied and jsonFilters, and reproduce the behavior described in the issue. Determine whether externally applied filters are exposed anywhere in the documented API; done means either identifying the supported filter list or clearly defining the missing API capability for a feature decision.
