Power BI Custom Visual Synching across multiple pages

AngeloCustomVis — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 18:15:26 GMT

I have a custom visual that is a text box and filter all values on the page with correctly.

In capabilities.json i have enabled the supportsSynchronizingFilterState and set it to true.

I have also set up persistentstate so that it keeps the values when moved off the page then returned you can see what has been input.

I see the visual in my sync pane. But it does not sync across to other pages where syncing is enabled.

How can I accomplish this.

Hi AngeloCustomVis

Could you use the custom visual to filter a "Normal" slicer that has "Select All" ticked for the same column in the custom visual. Set this to Sync across all pages in the report and then hide it.

So something like:
Page 1
Custom Slicer (Visible)

Standard Slicer (Hidden) Syncronised

Page 2

Standard Slicer 2 (Hidden) Syncronised

Page 3

Standard Slicer 3 (Hidden) Syncronised

Something like that?

Hi SamWiseOwl

Thanks for your suggestion.

Were you able to validate your solution?

I have my custom visual and normal slicer on page one with select All option enabled.. Normal slicer is synced to page 2 and page 3.

I select a value in my custom visual and my slicer in page one is filtered to those values.

Page 2 and 3 are still not filtered.

Thanks,

Hi AngeloCustomVis

Unfortunetly it did not work, which version of Power BI are you using?
In Preview there is a Text slicer that does something similar to what you describe

And it can be synced visible and hidden:

See if you can turn it on Options | Preview features | Text slicer visual

Hey AngeloCustomVis ,

+1, Facing a similar issue with my custom visual.

( In capabilities.json i have enabled the supportsSynchronizingFilterState and set it to true.

I have also set up persistentstate so that it keeps the values when moved off the page then returned you can see what has been input.

I see the visual in my sync pane. But it does not sync across to other pages where syncing is enabled. )

I am able to do cross page filter but i am not able to update/sync the Visual UI across the pages, it remains in the previous persistent state of that page instead of updating to the latest one.
Also not able to implement basic Copy-paste to my visual, while using the sync pane i am able to replicate it but other than that i am not able to copy- paste it.

Please let me know if you have solved the problem,
Any help and suggestions are very much appreciated.
