Drill Down Functionality Fails at Deeper Data Levels

[Daence96]

Bug description

In version 4.0.2 of Superset, an issue has been identified with the drill down functionality in dashboards. As the data is drilled down into deeper levels, the drill down feature stops functioning correctly. While navigation works properly in the initial levels, when attempting to descend further, detailed data either fails to display or is shown incorrectly. This inconsistency impacts the users' ability to obtain a complete view of the data as they drill down through multiple levels.

The expected behavior is that, regardless of how many levels are drilled down, the data should be displayed continuously and accurately. However, the issue arises when drilling down beyond certain levels, where additional details become inaccessible, limiting the ability to perform in-depth data analysis.

This error has been observed in version 4.0.2 of Superset, and screenshots are attached to illustrate the irregular behavior as deeper levels are reached during the drill down.

Hey @Daence96, I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions. Let's squash those bugs together! 🤖

I found a similar unsolved discussion regarding the drill down functionality not working for widgets that do not have dimensions. You can view the discussion here ^[1].

Additionally, there is a known issue in Superset version 4.0.2 where the "Drill to detail truncates int64 IDs," which might be related to the problems you're experiencing. This issue is documented in the fix #29081 ^[2].

These might provide some context or insights into the issue you're facing with the drill down functionality at deeper data levels.

Looking at your Word doc, the drill down looks right to me. Can you explain what's incorrect or expected in these cases? Pasting the screenshots here on GitHub is fine, btw... since we don't all have Word ;)

Never heard back here, and it's been nearly six months. Closing as not-planned, but happy to revisit/reopen if needed.
