Filter by metadata through connection to another item

Question

I was wondering if it is possible to filter a list item based on metadata values from another list item.

I tested it locally but it didn't seem to work althougth another post here said it should work (Pass list item metadata to filter for document library). Created a list with a Term Store field and then created another list using the same term store field. Populated both lists with items and made sure that all lists have items that should match. Then I set up the connection on the one list and created the filter so that the Term Store field from list A should filter the Term Store from list B. But unfortunately this results in no results at all althought it should have any results (if the filter were actually working).

Is this a known issue with SharePoint 2010? It just seems weird that they offer those fields for selection on the filter dialogue when they seem to be not supported.

Answer 1

As it seems this is a limitation of the managed metadata columns in SharePoint 2010. Let's hope a future SharePoint version will improve this behaviour.
