Cross report drillthrough - hidden filters become visible to users

[ansa_naz]

l have an odd issue with cross report drillthrough.

My target page has some hidden filters set up in the filter pane. If I drill through from a source report, the filters that should be hidden now become visible on the target report. The name of the filter is italicised, but the filter is itself now visible? 

Is this how it is designed to work?

Hi @ansa_naz ,

It is by design in power bi service.

If you set the hidden filters for the drillthrough field in the target report, it will still be visualble when you drillthrough from the source report, the filter name format is italic.

If you set the hidden filters for other fields in the target report, the hidden filter will not show in it when you drillthrough from the source report.
