I have run into an issue with the Timeline Slicer visual not getting updated. Both the desktop and online versions of BI are installing version 2.4.0 from Appsource. In Desktop I can just force it to ignore appsource and install a newer version from a local file but this doesn't help with my published reports. Is there something I can do to get version 2.5.11 in PowerBI Service?

Hi Support,

The Timeline Slicer 2.5.11.0 in Power BI caused issues today.
The Timeline Slicer visual automatically updated to 2.5.11.0 in Power BI Service.

 

  1. This caused the settings to reset to default.
    1. We have very many reports and to update them all will be a tremendous effort.
  2. It also caused the vertical scroll bar to appear and unable to remove it unless we resized the visual to 165 height.
  3. We are unable to update the Timeline Slicer visual from 2.4 to 2.5 in desktop.


Please Advise workaround or ETA on fix.

    Same issue here. It looks like the version for download claims to be 2.5 but it's really 2.4.

    Tried a new blank report with no custom visuals, and it downloaded the 2.4 version as well.

    Desktop shows the visual as I want it to appear, but online the visual is showing all options as per default settings.

    We have this in 100s of views, so a fix is needed asap.

      I also have the same issue.  What I have noticed about now getting a vertical scroll bar, is that suddenly the Timeline Slicer visual in the Power BI Service is no longer holding on to the 'Off' selection of the 'Display all' toggle under the Labels section of the Formatting pane.  When opening the Desktop app file, the 'Display all' toggle under the Labels section is turned off (as desired).  However, after publishing, the visual in the Service is behaving as though the 'Display all' toggle under Labels is turned On, and therefore there is no longer enough vertical space on the visual and it presents an undesirable vertical scrollbar.  Can this be fixed?  Thanks!

        Same issue here !!!
        We have many reports that use the TimeLine Slicer and this can be very disabling.
        Could we already know if the problem has been seen, or even know an estimated resolution date please ?
