# Clear Hidden Conditions

### Overview

Run the **Clear Hidden Conditions** action from a handler.

This action removes all **hidden conditions** set by Kanban API actions. It does not refresh the board. Chain **Apply Filter Conditions** to apply the cleared state.

### Handlers and actions

* **Handler**: defines what happens when a user clicks a Kanban UI element.
* **Action**: an executable operation triggered by the handler.
* **Primary action here**: `Kanban API → Clear Hidden Conditions`.
* **Optional follow-ups**: configure extra actions on success or failure.

See [Configuring Handlers](https://docs.flexikanban.ai/standard-kanban/tools/configuring-handlers).

### Key concepts

**Hidden conditions**\
Filter conditions not visible in the Filter Panel.\
They still affect which records are shown.

### Configuration

Configure the handler on the interactive element.

**Primary action type**\
`Kanban API`

**Primary action**\
`Clear Hidden Conditions`

**Action parameters**\
None.

{% hint style="info" %}
This action clears hidden conditions only. It does not touch the Filter Panel state.
{% endhint %}

### Behavior

When the handler runs the action:

1. Removes all hidden conditions (filters, labels, orders) previously set via Kanban API handlers.
2. Does not apply changes automatically — the Kanban board is not refreshed until the **Apply Filter Conditions** handler is called.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Chain [Apply Filter Conditions](https://docs.flexikanban.ai/references/handlers/kanban-api-handler-types/filters/apply-filter-conditions). Otherwise the board keeps showing the old state.
{% endhint %}

### Troubleshooting

**The board still shows the same records.**\
This action does not refresh the board.\
Chain [Apply Filter Conditions](https://docs.flexikanban.ai/references/handlers/kanban-api-handler-types/filters/apply-filter-conditions).

**Some filters remain active.**\
They may be Filter Panel filters, not hidden conditions.\
Use [Clear Filter Conditions](https://docs.flexikanban.ai/references/handlers/kanban-api-handler-types/filters/clear-filter-conditions).

**Nothing changes visually.**\
Most often, Apply Filter Conditions is missing in the chain.

**Hidden conditions come back after clearing.**\
Another handler may be reapplying them.\
Check events and load-time handlers.
