Enable Grouping for Field Parameters in Power BI

Description:
I would like to request the ability to group fields and measures within field parameters in Power BI. Currently, when creating a field parameter, only a flat list of fields/measures can be added. Grouping would allow for better organization, improved slicer usability, and more intuitive navigation in visuals—especially when working with many related measures (such as risk metrics, financial KPIs, etc.).

Why this is important:

Enhances user experience by logically grouping related fields/measures in slicers and visuals
Makes it easier to manage and select from large sets of dynamic columns
Supports better report design, especially for complex financial and risk dashboards
Example of desired behavior:

While creating a field parameter, allow users to define groups (e.g., “Measurement Group 1”, “Measurement Group 2”) and assign measures to each group.
In the slicer and visuals, allow users to expand/collapse groups and select individual measures within those groups.

Thank you for considering this enhancement!

I believe you can _manually_ add this by adding a fourth column to each parameter item. It really needs official support - and the new slicers with "leaf node only" options to be GAd. (Plus they should offer the existing layout option where item height is fixed instead of item count, but that's a different discussion).
