This is getting wierd. I downloaded your sample (thank you) and it works. Hmmm. So I open my model again, re-add the Chiclet slicer (it had been totally removed) and tried it out. It does NOT work. Not only that, but my Button/Bookmark doesn't clear ANY slicer. I had to add a second Bookmark with the same properties and point the button to that one. The new Bookmark DOES work now with all slicers, even the Chiclet. But the first Bookmark does NOT. 

 

Like I said, VERY wierd.

 

FYI, I'm using the November 2019 update (MSI version)

Hi ToddChitt,

I test this in Nov desktop, which work well. I think you need to check  like below

 Then when you choose something in slicer, then press ctrl key and click "clear all button", it should work. Or you could share me your test file, I will test this in my environment.

Best Regards,

    daxI'm going to withdraw my claim that the problem is with the Chiclet Slicer and instead blame the Bookmark. Why? I created a SECOND bookmark, initiated at a time when ALL slicers were cleared, set its properties accordingly (same as the first) and re-pointed the action of the button to this second bookmark. NOW the button will clear the Chiclet Slicer (by activating the second bookmark). 

     

    I can't prove it, but I suspect there is something about the sequencing of creating and updating Bookmarks that is causing this. 

    Yes, I tried clearing all the slicers manually then activate the "Update" option on the bookmark. It didn't fix the issue the first time, but DID fix it the SECOND time I did it. 

     

    Like I said, strange and frustrating.

    Thanks for your help.
