JSON Label for Slicer Selection Control Setting 'Multi-select with CTRL"

[SamCarlson]

Short version: What is the JSON label for the Slicer Selection Control Setting "Multi-select with CTRL"?

I found this code which has almost everything I need but since multi-select with ctrl is a newer feature, it is not there.

Any leads on how to define this default in a JSON template would be greatly appreciated!

"slicer": {
     "*": {
          "selection": [{
                 "singleSelect": false,
                 "multiSelect": false,
                 "selectAllCheckboxEnabled": true
           }]

      }

Hi @TroyV ,

I tried to use the multiSelect but I did not change the toggle for Multi-Select with with Ctrl on.

Did anyone else have this problem?

I had this issue as well.  "multiselect": true did not work for me.  Through some experimenting, I figured out that the below code is instead the correct solution. 

"strictSingleSelect": false

This also applies to the new Button slicer (a.k.a. the advancedSlicerVisual in JSON).  

"selection": [{
	"singleSelect": true, 
	"strictSingleSelect": false,
	"selectAllCheckboxEnabled": false
	}]

Interesting @Anonymous as long as you have it set to true I would think it would work? Maybe make sure that the Single Select option is set to false.

Here is the code I am using. 

{
"name": "Custom Theme",
	 "dataColors": [
				"#09264E", 
        		"#004AB5",
        		"#FFA300", 
        		"#f2ebdb", 
        		"#D64550",
        		"#197278", 
        		"#1AAB40",
				"#3BB44A",
        		"#F2C811", 
        		"#D63817"
	],
	"visualStyles": {
		"slicer": {
              "*": {
                "selection": [{
                    "singleSelect": false,
					"multiSelect" : true,
                    "selectAllCheckboxEnabled": false
                  }],	
				"header": [{
                    "show": true
                  }],
				"title": [{
						"show": true,
						"fontColor": { "solid": { "color": "#333333" } },
						"background": { "transparency": { "color": "" } },
						"alignment": "left",
						"fontSize": 10,
						"fontFamily": "Segoe UI Semibold"
					}],
				"items": [{
					"fontColor": { "solid": { "color": "#605E5C"}},
					"background": { "solid": { "color": "#FFFFFF"}},
					"outline": "None",
					"textSize": 9,
					"fontFamily": "Segoe UI"
					}],
				"visualHeader": [{
                    "show": false					
					}]
              }
		}
    }
}

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding what you are trying to do, but aren't the slicer selection settings in your JSON already the default?

[Anonymous]

Yes they are but if I want to change "selectAllCheckboxEnabled" to true and have "mutiSelect" set to true, only "selectAllCheckboxEnabled" will change.

"selection": [{
                    "singleSelect": false,
                    "multiSelect" : true,
                    "selectAllCheckboxEnabled": true
}],

Success! Appreciate the help. Should've known "with CTRL" wouldn't be included in the JSON name.
