I want to be able to copy/paste an Excel column with values so that the Text (Input) slicer understands them as separate entries.

- Recent update indended do deliver the requested feature, even saying https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/power-bi-visualization-slicers?tabs=powerbi-desktop "The paste feature is available in the Input slicer, Button slicer, and List slicer (preview). For Button and List slicers, paste applies exact-match selection. For the Input slicer, pasted values are evaluated using the selected operator (for example, Contains any, Starts with any, Is any)." But in reality, the input slicer is the only slicer where you can't bulk paste the values now. Most likely a bug.
- "Paste from the context menu isn't available, but you can paste text using keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+V) when the input box is active." Found this. But it means you can only paste a single value, with no option of bulk paste. So mass filter external visual still can't be replaced then...
- Yes, PLEASE include this as otherwise the Input Slicer is essentially useless for my users! We are usually trying to bulk copy/paste a large list of IDs from Excel.
