Unable to Turn Dimension into Drop-down Filter in Workspace Project

Hey folks,
I’m working on a Workspace project and trying to create those slick drop-down filters in the top filter bar (like Device Type, Marketing Channel, etc.). I’m dragging the dimension into the area that says “Drop a segment here (or any other component)”, but I don’t get the gear icon or the “Filter with drop-down” option.
Here’s what I’ve tried:
- Dragged standard dimensions (e.g., Device Type, Countries) — not metrics or segments.
- Made sure I’m not dropping into the panel body "Drop a segment here (or any other component)", only into the top filter bar.
- Hovered to find the gear icon — no luck.
- Checked my access — I have edit rights.
Followed below steps:
How to Create Dropdown Filters in Adobe Analytics Workspace:
Open Your Workspace Project
Go to your Adobe Analytics → Workspace → Open or create a project. - Drag a Dimension to the Drop Zone
On the left-hand side, find the dimension you want to filter by (e.g., Marketing Channel, Device Type, Countries, etc.). - Drag it to the top area where it says “Drop a segment here (or any other component)” — this is the Filter bar.
- Turn it into a Drop-down Filter
Once the dimension is up there: - Click on the small gear icon ⚙️ (appears when you hover over it).
- Select “Filter with drop-down” (this turns it into a friendly dropdown with multi-select).
