Bookmarks don't work on multiple pages

I'm trying to sync bookmarks over multiple pages. But updating the bookmark on one page seems to forget it's display on other pages.

 

Steps to reproduce:

  • Open a new Power BI file
  • Put 2 text boxes on Page 1: One with the text "Bookmark A", the other with the text "Bookmark B"
  • Duplicate the page and rename it to Page 2
  • Using the selection pane, hide textboxes B on both pages, so show only textboxes A
  • Create a bookmark and call it Bookmark A, uncheck options Data and Current page
  • Using the selection pane, hide textboxes A on both pages, so show only textboxes B
  • Create a bookmark and call it Bookmark B, uncheck options Data and Current page

Expected behaviour:

Switching between bookmark A and B on Page 1 and Page 2 will hide and show the corresponding textboxes A and B.

 

Actual result:

Switching bookmarks on Page 1 doesn't change the visiblity of the textboxes

 

My actual case involves 5 pages and 3 bookmarks. This example made it easy to explain, but I'm looking for a solution which is not specific for 2 pages and 2 bookmarks.

@arjenbos91 , Bookmarks belong to a page. so even if you copy it will still keep on pointing to that page
