I'm implementing custom filtering buttons on our UI and using the built-in openFilter() method on the flexmonster instance -- whenever I pass a hierarchyUniqueName from a hierarchy thats typed as 'datetime' the flexmonster filter modal does not open up. All other types work as intended. We are using version 2.8.27.

Hello, Travis!
Thank you for contacting us.
We could not reproduce the described behavior of openFilter() API call on our side.
Here is a JSFiddle sample with opening the filter pop-up for the datetime field: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/3n5172Lc/. Could you please modify this example to make your case reproducible?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards,

Hello, Travis,
Thank you for providing us with the sample.
Please note that to use the openFilter() API call, you should define the necessary fields in the columns or rows sections of the Slice Object. For example,
slice: {
"rows": [{
"uniqueName": "Country"
},
{
"uniqueName": "Datetime"
}
],
"columns": [{
"uniqueName": "[Measures]"
}],
"measures": [{
"uniqueName": "Price",
"aggregation": "sum"
}],
}
You are welcome to check the following JSFiddle for reference: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/Ltrn61wq/
Please let us know if it works for you. Feel free to contact us if other questions arise.
Kind regards,
Nadia

Nadia,
Thank you! That solved the issue. We were using showDefaultSlice = true; but once we set it to false and passed in a slice with the columns we wanted filtering on everthing worked.
Sincerly,
Travis Bean.
