@BrunoMNDantas - We were not able to duplicate this with extensions v1.8 and Tableau 2021.1.12. Would it be possible to share your workbook with us?
Thank you,
John

Hi John, thanks for you response.
Here you have an workbook reproducing the problem.
You can find on Workbook the set configured and on Dashboard I've mounted an example in wich I have my extension listening MarkSelection events and calling getMarksAsync.

The credentials for the extension are: user1/password

After login, if you select any mark on dashboard you will have the error printed on console.

@BrunoMNDantas
I have good news and bad news.
First the good: With your workbook, we can duplicate the issue.
The bad: There is a defect in our handling of the selection that will require a maintenance version of Tableau.

However, the issue is not in the filter, but in the set on the detail. If you can avoid that, everything works correctly. Meanwhile, we will get this fixed so that there isn't this restriction.

Can you avoid the set on the details. I'm guessing that your extension is meant for any workbook, so that isn't a long term solution.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
John
