Hi Eva,

The way you did it might work if you choose to "Show facet options with no results".

But that may have unexpected behaviors as well, because it will do that for all facets. I've see a similar request in the past from customers, but what they wanted was either navigation (not faceting) OR wanted some facets to behave differently than others (in which case you will need to do this custom - show facet options with no results be checked but then hide them in the template for the ones you don't want). The later option is not great because it's handling an excess of data to simply be discarded, but may be what you need.

Hi Nuno,

thank you for your reply. I will try and test Show facet options with no results. I am a little unsure where to set this, though. Is it here in the facet you mean? There are already set to always. Or am I looking in the wrong place? :)

Hi Eva,

Is this a Swift or Rapido site? In Swift that should be the very first paragraph of the Products page, the one used to render the data.

Hi again, it is a Rapido site :)

I tried with Show facet options with no results , but it did not fix the issue. 

Is there some other way to preselect a facet?

Hi Eva,

If all you want is to simply select the checkboxes, you can also do it with a simple piece of javascript. You can use Rapido hooks to trigger it once the product list has loaded

RapidoHook.productListLoaded(function() {

// Your javascript code

}
