Filters to the new Tool Requests Tab

Hello, is there any possibility to add filters to the new "Tool Requests" ? specially Dungeons/Raid Category ? or this is a restricted API by blizzard?
if not restricted , would like a way to filter what show up in the "Tool Requests" tab (dungeon/Raid category): for example

  • only show up groups (+2 members groups) that missing healer/tank/dps role...etc (and hide all individual listed)
  • only show up individuals listed based on selected role (e.g: show only tank role individuals)
    these just examples that i faced/would like to have. ,maybe there will be a drawback that you need to refresh the tab each time you filter or change filter.
    maybe add buttons or add those filters to the dropdown menu when Dungeons/raid category is selected ...

thanks .

Id have to think about how to go about implementing this within the addon.

Its also something that ive thought about doing so i dont completely dislike the idea.

I think I will make a seperate addon (its easier to prototype stuff from scratch for me), to see what exactly id need to do, and then see how i can go about copying that functionality over to BulletinBoard.

If you know other people that want this let them know to '👍' this issue so i can gauge interest. :)

I think i get what youre asking for, something akin to what the retail addon Premade Group Filters does?

commented

Yes! You are correct . But it should not be "that" complex or many filters as retail add-on have.
For my cases for example: I want to only show groups that have +2 members and missing a specific role or show only groups that have 4 members (both cases filter out individual signups), or if I want to look for individual role and filter out all others (eg. Show only tank role individuals and filter out the rest ...)
No need to filter dungeons/raids let it be as is now but add those filters mentioned above
That is if API is not restricted by blizzard of course .

Thank you so much for your time and effort.

Closed it by mistake

this is beautiful! this is just what i wanted and more! huge thanks for this, I asked for a feature, and you went above and beyond—way cooler than I imagined.

just to point out, seems not correctly picking only premade groups (2-4 members groups)

again, thank you

Forgot to mention, I did end up making a separate addon for this,

I'm trying to see if i can make it "plugin" to bulletin board.

You'd have to uncheck the "Show Applicants" option to hide all individual players.

If thats not what you mean and there's an actual bug or some missing expected behavior could you create an issue at the addons repository linked below, ty!
