    Until this matter is fixed by PBI team, you could action as follows in Desktop:

    1. Select Dropdown on your slicer
    2. Create new bookmark of the page with this dropdown slicer

    3. Replace old bookmark with a new one and adjust the setting of all your images, shapes etc linked to the old bookmark

    Otherwise, it would seem PBI published report picks up the original version of the slicer with the List rather then Dropdown

    Hope this helps

Easier way to manage: Update the slicers in your page, as you wish, and then just Update the Page Bookmark (you don't need to create a new Bookmark!). (It seems the Bookmark keeps the visualizations for the Page at the moment such Bookmark is created or whenever it's afterwards updated.
