Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have two pages suing the same view.

hidden link

I would like to use the same view but with different filters.

When I change the filter on the first page, it changes the filters on the other page as well. Which I found to be an unexpected behaviour.

I have a number of pages that I want to use the same view but with a different filter. Is there a way to achieve this without creating a new view for each?

I thought I'd resolved this, but afraid not

Hello,

There isn't such kind of built-in feature, to avoid the issue you mentioned above:
When I change the filter on the first page, it changes the filters on the other page as well.

I suggest you setup different post views + custom search form for each page, and use different URL parameter for each filter, see our document:
