Why does my second filter remain on an option that shouldn't exist?

Let's say I've chosen "Customer Service" and "Call Center":

If I choose "Finance", I find that "Call Center" is still selected. "Call Center" is not a sub category of "Finance" and so it should not be there.

It takes me selecting "Auditing" inorder for "Call Center" to disappear.

Once again, your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for getting back to me. Do you think there is a measure for removing the specific sub division from the filter if they don't exist in the division?. The issue is I end up with blank visuals in the example above. For example, there is no "Auditing" in the "Finance" business unit. 

The only workaround is for the report developer to NOT specify any default filter values before publishing.  But that is not good advice either...

That is working as designed.  Not saying it is a good design. Even has the potential for data leakage, especially in RLS scenarios.
