Field Parameters in Deneb Visuals
No, field parameters aren't currently supported. They don't work well in a "flexible dataset"-type situation and have to be very explicitly defined in a custom visual (which is why they work well in visuals with defined data roles).
I will be planning some limited support for field parameters in v2, and the RFC is here if you wish to add your thoughts to it or track its status. As field parameters are in still preview for Power BI, it will give sufficient time for me to review the GA implementation and bear any additional changes in mind before I start working on it, as it's quite a big piece of work.
Deneb version 2 is currently being scoped and planned, and I don't have a solid ETA yet. We may start seeing alpha builds very late this year or early next year if all goes well. I develop Deneb in my free time and free of charge, so it's hard to gauge exactly how long things can take.
I've only managed with doing a coalesce of 'known' fields into a single field within the spec and did a brief twritter thread about it here when field parameters went into preview. One of the cool things about a visual like Deneb is that I get taught things too, so yes, I would love to know how you're managing it, and TIA 🙂

Just read that as well.. Looks like we did it the same way kind of thinking I just made power BI tell me what the actual selected measure was like your or in the Json i guess
