Date slider slicer not updating

[apocryphal_pnd]

Hi, I have the below slicer and it is not updating to the current date after a data refresh. My worry is that by purposefully not including last year's dates, but having them available to our users, I've 'set' the slicer and now it is static. The slicer is pulling from a simple date dim table, no measure or anything special. Can I have this slicer with the custom earliest date or do I need a new plan?

Thanks!

You are correct that there is no way to have date slicer values have a custom default max and min value that update as time passes and data refreshes. (For example, January 1st of current year and Today, as shown in your screenshot).

If you add the slicer to the page but don't touch it in any way, it will automatically continue to update the max and min values with the maximum and minimum values from the column it came from.  But that's it.  And this is more of a bug exploit than an actual feature, in my opinion.  This is something I'm hoping Microsoft will fix in the future.
