Description Enda O Brien CLA 2022-02-25 11:38:48 EST 
For our use case we require a "Suppress Marker" action that allows a selected marker to be filtered based on some of its attributes.

A filter can be defined using the filterClass attribute of markerField - OK

The action is invoked using right click context menu. - OK

Attributes of the marker are stored as being suppressed by our application - OK

As per the defined filter, MarkerSupportView is refreshed and any marker matching stored attributes is not shown in the MarkerSupportView. - NOK

The stored list of suppressed markers is available in a custom dialog. -OK

The list in the custom dialog can be edited and changes applied to MarkerSupportView. - NOK

The issue is that the markers API does not provide a way for applications to refresh the MarkerSupportView after a filter has changed. (At least not outside of the FilterConfigurationDialog).
