P: Book Module - Used/Unused filters are not showing the correct selection

I use the lightroom book module to make some pretty long albums (Like hundreds of pictures).  Earlier this week I installed the update, and now I can't filter the pictures in a saved book to only show unused photos.  This is critical when I'm using hundreds of pictures.  How do I fix it?

    I am having the same issue. Use or Unused filters do nothing and get a brief message as shown here:

    I'm running Window 11 pro and Lightroom Classic. 

    Major problem! @Rikk Flohr: Photography , when will this be fixed?

        Same here. Apple Mac Studio 2023 running MacOS 15.5, Lightroom Classic 14.4. It is now almost impossible to create the books that I create using the Book module.

          I have the same problem of No Filter when i want to display Unused photos in the book Module. Any idea if this is going t be fixed? The solution of refresh does not work

            I can reproduce this on Mac and Windows, and @Rob_Cullen 's workaround does not correct it for me.

              I noticed the same!

              Try clicking on [Reset Default Presets] - It restored more options for me.

              Where is this drop down menu to access "Restore Default Presets"?

              "Where is this drop down menu to access "Restore Default Presets"?-"

              Look in the filter options- disclosure menu-  on the filmstrip (when in book module)
