DataViewFilters dropdown: Reset active attribute to first item after the filters are cleared

Hi team, we’re using DataView + DataViewToolbar + DataViewFilters. When a user clicks “Clear all filters”, we want the attribute dropdown (in DataViewFilters) to reset to the first filter (our Name/URL) instead of staying on the last interacted attribute.

Right now, we’re nudging React to remount the first child by bumping a key on our Name/URL filter after clear. This works but is fragile/hacky.

Our Proposal

We have a couple of ideas on how to make this work more smoothly for everyone. We'd love to hear your thoughts on either of these solutions:

• Make it the default. We think it would be great if DataViewFilters simply reset to the first attribute whenever filters are cleared. It’s what most users would expect, and it would save a lot of people from having to implement their own workarounds.

• Introduce a new prop. What if we added an optional prop like defaultActiveFilterId? This would give developers the flexibility to explicitly set the default attribute, both on the initial load and after filters are cleared.

Thanks so much for considering our suggestions!

Jira Issue: PF-2719

Commencez par l’implémentation de DataViewFilters et suivez le comportement existant de « Clear all filters », notamment la façon dont l’attribut actif est sélectionné. Déterminez si l’effacement doit toujours sélectionner le premier attribut ou prendre en charge une prop defaultActiveFilterId, puis vérifiez que le dropdown est réinitialisé comme prévu après l’effacement des filtres.
