Child Items should not be selected by Default in Slicer

[SwaroopGoteti]

Hello Community,

We are encountering an issue with the slicer when using a hierarchy containing multiple columns.

When a parent item (e.g., Country 1) is selected, all of its child items are automatically selected by default.
However, to view data corresponding only to the parent item, we have to manually deselect the child items.

Is there a way to change this behavior? If not, we would like to request that Microsoft consider adding this as a feature in a future update.
