Drag & Drop Filters in Answers

Description

simplify creating filters

Use Case and Business Need

This one should be a farily simple one to implement. We should be able to drag and drop fields from the Subject Areas panel onto the Filters panel. Currently, you can choose a field from the Selected Columns panel and create a filter or you can click on the filter creation icon in the Filters panel. Dragging and dropping a field to create a filter is just something that should be in place. What do you think?

Is there any progress on this Idea?

This feature would be very useful, especially when a list of selected columns in criteria is very long and you want to apply a filter to a column that is not included in Selected Columns panel. When you click on a funnel icon (Create a filter for the current Subject Area) a list of suggested columns is so long, that it covers whole work space - "More Columns..." option is not available immediately. That's just one case scenario. In every other case it would simply make it more intuitive to create new filters.
