Hi danieleperilli ,

 

From the offical blog: VisualConstructorOptions

  • persistProperties, allows users to create persistent settings and save them along with the visual definition, so they're available on the next reload

You can look for an example in powerbi-visuals-sankey custom visual, where it is used to store various properties.

powerbi-visuals-sankey

A rough example for your case:

options.host.persistProperties({
            VisualObjectInstance = {
            objectName: "filterSetting",
            selector: undefined, 
            properties: {
                filter: "xyz"
            }
        };
     });

After triggering the persistProperties function, the visual triggers an update, populating the VisualUpdateOptions' options.dataViews.metadata.objects with the persisted property. Note, that you have to define your property in the capabilities.json beforehand.
