Bug Report: New button slicer not displaying in online app

I use the new button slicer in several reports I've built and published to online apps in Power BI. To I see that the new button slicer is not working in any of these reports. PLEASE FIX ASAP! Is there a better way to report bugs or is posting here the only way to do this?!

 

Examples.

New button slicer viewed via desktop file:

Same place the new button slicer should be viewed via the published online app:

Every  button slicer appears the same way. Completely blank. People rely on these published apps. Please fix!!

Hi, @TBStacey 

Clear your browser cache and change browsers/devices to test.

ou can also try republishing the report from Power BI Desktop to ensure that all components are synced to the server. When publishing, select Overwrite existing datasets/reports. The data source of the online application must be configured with gateway or cloud connection permissions. Set the → data source credentials on the server-side dataset . Confirm that the fields bound to the slicer exist in the server-side dataset and that there are no rename/delete operations.
New features may require specific version support on the server side. Visit the Power BI official website or the service status page to confirm whether the new button slicer is supported in the current version. If you want to use the preview feature, you need to enable it on the server side: Online App Settings Options Preview Features Enable "New Button Slicer". If the new button slicer is a custom visual, it needs to be re-uploaded/authorized on the server side. Online app → Datasets/reports → Set → Global permissions → Enable custom visuals.
