Describe the bug
Dashboard linked filters show as linked in the sidebar even when a newly wired field has no FK path to the other filtered fields; saving yields a broken link with no error or explanation.
Users can add a third card and connect an existing “linked” filter to an incompatible field. The UI still displays the filter as linked, but after save the linkage fails silently, so filtering stops working with zero feedback about invalid/incompatible mapping.

Expected behavior
Unclear - but users never understand what's actually happening in this case.
