Summary

This article explains the difference between selecting "Current Project" vs. a specific project name as the project for a filter.

Resolution

The "Current Project" option is designed to make the filter reusable across different projects. Rather than tying the filter to one specific project, it dynamically applies to whichever project you are currently working in. This makes it a broader, more flexible option, particularly when the filter needs to be used across the organization.
 
Selecting a specific project by name binds the filter to that project and displays the visible item types specific to it, so the filter cannot be reused across other projects in the same way.
