Hi forum, I've got a table with the following settings on some columns: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/d/ad2e0af05a585fedc91b531e9425311a3c508e5b.png) In the designer, the filter icons are hidden: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/2/721f7954a892c8daf4f7ba7fdc678404d3339cc6.png) In production the filter icons are visible: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/5/f5a55b1f8c43604fb5b7bf00c93f5f232a4b0254.png) And I can see from the CSS its specifically setting them as visible '--always', not '--never': ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/c/5c233c35635e9576de8274cf9123a10af3dcf1d9.png) I didnt seem to have this issue in the past -\> Is this a bug with version 8.1.43? Extra info: - Setting the filter enabled to 'FALSE' removes the icons - No I cant use that as a solution as I'm using separate boxes to control the filters 😋 Thanks! Alex ---

One last bit of into to add -\> I added a button that specifically sets the filter visibility to 'never' when pressed... just to make sure it wasnt being reset by something! ...It was an attempt that failed ☺ ---

Perhaps try adding a selector in the stylesheet with `'--never !important'`? Aside from that, I don't see in the snipit you provided where is says visible--always, I see `filterable--always`, which I think is what you want? ---

Ah very good spot! I think I breezed over the CSS in my haste so missed it was the filterable property, and not the visible 🙂 Delving into the table, I cant seem to find the 'filterable visible' CSS prop being passed through. Maybe thats the issue? 🙂 ---

I've added a DOMID on the table of 'tableHideAllFilters' , and put the below in the advanced stylesheet. Seems to do the trick, but I'd be interested to know why I have to do this in this version -\> seems overkill for an available feature 🙂 ```python #tableHideAllFilters .filter-button{ display: none; } ``` ---

> [@Alex\_Leech](#): > > And I can see from the CSS its specifically setting them as visible '--always', not '--never': Not that it will help solve your issue, but that's html, not css. I'm also using 8.1.43 and I don't have a problem with filters. I just tried on the table with the sample data and put one of each visibility option on the 3 columns: city: on hover, country: always, population: never ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/9/b9d271b5e63997ae9c7088caa284c6d56fefc6e5.png) Works exactly as expected. Try removing anything that could mess with this, maybe something is overriding the class and messing with it. Also, may I ask why you're activating the filters if you don't want them to show up ? Are you using default filters configured directly in the designer ? ---

Thanks Pascal, I've just done the same test, blank view, standard sample data table. Low and behold, I get the correct HTML! (Looks down in shame at previous error) Whats confused me more however is I've commented out the CSS to hide them, and they've now got the '--never' on the original table. Think its time to call it a day and look again in the morning 😂 I shall do some more investigation and report back tomorrow! Thanks for the help all! Edit: Im using separate input fields to control the filters, so just dont want the icons showing in the header.
