I am facing the same problem. Also, is there a way so that I can set Target Audience on Vertical webpart

@FranckyC seems state of the filter panel is dependent on if a filter was selected at one time or not - an not on explicit open/close. Not sure how best to set this as the web-component is recreated on each render. But passing in open/close should not be needed if state can be kept internally.

[FranckyC]

@wobba you're right the issue is at web component level because the state is lost after every re-render. We need to "exterrnalize" the panel open state in a dedicated variable due to the Handlebars constraint. I'll see what I can do here.

@Viipiin short answer no but please don't mix multiple questions in the same issue as this is not related.

Hi @jamesdellowE2 this should be resolved in the develop branch and available in the next release. Thanks!
