When I update and save a new Filter on the Defaults display, that information does not migrate to the Page displays. Is this normal?

Have searched Advanced Help, the Drupal site and searched the internet with no luck.

I am using Drupal 6.20.

Thanks in advance.

Second screen shot showing difference between page view and default view filters.

When I update the default fields, those propagate throughout the pages.

You have overriden the filters on the page displays.

In general you can only override all filters not single ones.

Der Eine, danke!

If I then eliminate the overridden filter(s) in the default, will that affect the filters on the pages or will those filters remain? If the remaining pages will then keep their filters unique to their page after the default overridden filters are eliminated, my thinking is that I can then have all remaining filters in the default apply to all pages? Nicht wahr?

no.

You can only use either the filters which are defined in the default display, or override them in the other displays. There is no mix between them etc. There is a technical reason for this, which is really hard to fix and was requested many times already.

What you might could use the the "clone display" button which is availible in 2.x-dev

Der Eine,

1. So if I understand correctly, adding or deleting a filter on the default tab after any page, block, etc has been added will have no effect on any of those pages if the filter has been overridden.

2. In order to have a new filter on the default tab affect any page after it has been saved, I must add that filter to each page that was already created?

3. In addition, if I add a page after the filter has been added to the default page will it apply to all pages that are built from that point on?

Thanks for taking the time to help me understand this. I am presently working with the cloned view and the above seem to be true.
