What type of filter are you trying to add?

You cannot add a new "Priority" filter, the priorities are based directly on the available alarm properties on the tag: [Tag Alarm Properties | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/platform/tags/tag-properties/tag-alarm-properties#main-alarm-properties). Only those listed are available.

With Python, you could add a different component (dropdown, text field, etc) that allows the users to interact with it, and then based on the user interaction do whatever other filtering you may need in the script:
