Drillthrough back button clears filters from parent page - any way to keep filters on parent page?

My situation is as follows:

Go to parent page

Apply various filters and slicers

Drillthrough to a child page

Press the Drillthrough back button

The parent page filters are not applied any more, all cleared.

 

Is there any way to keep the parent page filters from when drillthrough action was started?

 

Cheers

@ansa_naz ,

 

You can save bookmarks when you select option in slicer/page level filter to filter the parent page. About how to save bookmarks, you can refer to doc below:

Hi @v-yuta-msft this wouldnt work. Users can make different slicer/filter selections every time before they drillthrough. There is now way to know what the slicer/filter selections would be in advance to create a bokmark for.

 

Is it possible to press back from child drillthrough page, and pre-select the filters/slicer selections on the parent page, exactly as they were when drillthrough was started?
