My pleasure! Very nice tool you've built here. As a side note, I did some more testing and the issue does not arise for the tags and categories fields but if I provide them with an alternative title when setting them up as filters for the Dashboard, it reverts to combining the values.

@icytree, I added a fix and it is available for you to test in the beta extension version. Feel free to test it out and let me know how it works.
