Items needs to regularly be filtered by specific attributes. It would be more user-friendly to be able to filter them just like we filter items based on field values. Right now, when you run through the Attribute Filter "routine," the system returns an obnoxious filter of item numbers returned by the attribute filter routine. This is nonsense and remains a half-baked part of BC. Please change the way these are filtered so that it's uniform with all of the other filtering across the environment.
Did Microsoft hire the intern who designed this feature? I wonder if that same individual helped on the NAV -> BC user interface!

Just to add to this. It is part of the limitation that you can't create queries or filter from related tables such as attributes. So they have created a hack that manually finds returned records and applies them to a filter. This is part of a broader weakness in being able to elegantly handle what is technically called many-to-many relationships.
