Change the table that a FilterColSelector points to

nikles — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 23:43:32 GMT

Hi everyone. I'm curious if there's a way to change which table a FilterColSelector display box points to. I have created a gui with an FCS that points to the current data table. If the user wishes to change the table they're working with, I'd like the columns in the FCS to reference the new table instead. The only way I can think of atm is to delete the current FCS in my window, create a new one that points to the new table, then prepend/append the new FCS to the display box hierarchy. Is there another way?

Thanks.

I believe what you have stated is what you will need to do. You can extract the script from the Data Filter, and apply the script against the new data table.

Re-creating filter col selector (to my knowledge) is still the only way to do it.
