    The error `This option is not available for the specified filter source` appears.

6.  Identify the name of the indicator breakdown under **Filter source**.

7.  Navigate to `pa_breakdowns.list` and open the breakdown.

8.  On the breakdown record, open the **Indicators** tab under **Related links**.

9.  Select **Edit** and choose one or more indicators that the breakdown applies to.
