Slicer Error When Making Hierarchy From Multiple Table Columns
Question
After reading this, https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Creating-a-Hierarchy-from-Multiple-Tables-using-a-shared-dataset/td-p/2308581, I learned that you can make a heirarchy in your visual from different columns from multiple tables if they have relationships made between them. This does work for visuals as far as I can tell, however, it doesn't work for a slicer?
Is there a way to get it to work for a slicer as well?
Context
We're changing up our model to be able to handle duplicate entries, so we're using bridging tables to go from a 1:MANY (to bridge) and then MANY:1 to the component values, and all this works as excpected, but I also need this to work for a slicer or else it's going to break everything.
Screenshot
Here you will notice the bottom visual is working, and that 3'rd level of the heirarchy comes from a completley different table and it works, if I try to do the same to the slicer at the top, it says relationships are not supported.

If your fields have a hierarchical relationship then they should reside in the same (or a dependent) table.
If they don't form a natural hierarchy, use separate slicers.
