After my site visitors have filtered a table as they please, I would like them to be able to
b) copy the filtered data from one particular column, and then
c) paste that data into the filter of an identical column in a different wpdtable on my site, thus automatically making those selections in the filter on the 2nd table.
I know I probably just need customization for this, but wanted to double check.
I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to achieve.
If the filter returns only one row, you can copy the contents of that row into a Text filter in another table, no issues there. However, if it returns more than one row, and you need to paste multiple rows in the other table's filter - that's not possible.
If I missed the point, please explain in a bit more detail, and preferably with some screenshots.
Yea, I wasn't very clear. I'm attaching a couple screenshots.
Basically, if I have Table 1 and Table 2, and they each have a University column, with 20 or 80 universities in the column, depending on the table (the 20 always being a subset of the 80)...
Then when someone has filtered one table in various ways so they've ended up with, say, only 15 universities in the University Column...
Then they often want to examine just those 15 uni's in the other table. But right now, they have to write down the 15 uni's they shortlisted and then painstakingly find those15 uni's out of a modal of 80 universities in the other table and tick them individually.
It would be great if they could tick a box (or something like that) in the first table, to save the15 universities they chose in the first table. And then tick another box in the second table to automatically select (in the modal filter of the University column of the second table) any of the 15 universities that existed in that column.
I believe I understand. As a matter of a fact, that's how I understood it yesterday, but unfortunately something like that is not possible with the plugin's built-in features.
Have you considered using Master-Detail Tables add-on? Basically, you would add all information about a university in one table, but hide some columns that contain more detail. Then, when your customers filter the table, and shorten the list to (for example) 15 universities (rows), they could click on each row to view details about that university.

Okay, thank you for looking at it.
I'll have a look at the Master-Detail add-on and see if it could work for me.
Cheers,
