Changes

This PR documents a limitation that was introduced in PostHog/posthog#55269 and made more visible to users in PostHog/posthog#55474.

The limitation: Dashboard property filter overrides are not applied to insights containing data warehouse series.

User-facing behavior: When viewing such insights on a dashboard with property filters applied, a warning is now displayed on the insight card saying "Filter overrides ignored (data warehouse series)."

Documentation updates

  1. contents/docs/product-analytics/dashboards.mdx - Added a note in the "Dashboard filters" section explaining that property filters are not applied to insights with data warehouse series and that a warning is displayed when this occurs.

  2. contents/docs/data-warehouse/insights.mdx - Added a note in the "Filters and breakdowns" section clarifying that while filtering works within the insight itself, dashboard-level property filter overrides do not apply to data warehouse series.

Both notes also clarify that date range overrides continue to work for all insight types.
