selectedData retains previous values, after setting selectedpoints to None

Hello everyone,

I have a dashboard with cross-filtering. The issue I am facing is the following:

  1. I filter chart A
  2. I filter chart B
  3. I have a button which resets all the filters, i.e. sets selectedpoints for both charts to None

Everything up to here works just fine.

When I reapply the filter on either of those charts, the other filter gets applied as well. I checked and the “selectedData” callback returns points for both charts, eventhough it has previously been set to None.

My code is below:

import dash
import dash_table
import dash_core_components as dcc
import dash_html_components as html

import pandas as pd
import datetime
from dash.dependencies import Input, Output

external_stylesheets = ['https://codepen.io/chriddyp/pen/bWLwgP.css']

app = dash.Dash(__name__, external_stylesheets=external_stylesheets)
total_clicks = 0 # keep track of total clicks
df = pd.read_csv('data.csv').reset_index(drop=True)
df['published']= pd.to_datetime(df['published']) 

styles = {
    'pre': {
        'border': 'thin lightgrey solid',
        'overflowX': 'scroll'
    }
}

selections = {
    'sel1' : {'name' : 'crossfilter-error-bar-filetype',  'sort' : True, 'prev' : None, 'field' : 'file_type',       'axis' : 'y', 'data' : 'x', 'orientation' : 'h', 'type' : 'bar'},
