Behaviour of report filters applied in combination

It was my understanding that when a value is selected in a filter on a report, other filters would adjust to only include values from the resulting set of records - i.e. you could only select from values that occur in the record set you are viewing. 

For example, in a table where request types are grouped into categories, picking a single request category in a filter would mean you would only see request types relating to that category in the filter for that column.

That's not how filtering is working, so ... has it always been this way, or has something changed?

You are understanding is correct. Are you seeing the same behavior on Legacy Table reports as well as new style reports?

Thanks Mark. Yes, I've just checked, and I'm seeing the same behaviour on legacy table reports.

So, it seems that what we're seeing with new style reports is 'currently the correct behaviour'.  

When switched to old style, the dynamic filters also do not adjust based on other dynamic filter selections, so it doesn't help us out in this case. It's been a while since I've used old style reports and I can't remember if this has always been the case; I suspect it has been.
