Updating theme for slicer to default to dropdown

Hello!

 

I would like to modify my theme so that the default setting for the slicer is "dropdown". I applied this style with no luck:

 

 

 "visualStyles": {
        "slicer": {
            "*": {
                "options": [
                    {
                        "style": "Dropdown"
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    }

 

 

This keeps resetting my slicer to a vertical list instead of a dropdown.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

The PowerBI themes page doesn't seem to reference the slicer options.

This post did provide the answer though:
