Copy-paste of a group selection makes slicer "duplicate" and changes propagate trough copied groups

When we copy-paste a slicer, if we change the field on the copied slicer only that slicer field is changed.

The issue arises when the slicer is on a group with a label, if we select the group and copy-paste it, we can change the text on the label and it goes ok, but if we change the field on the slicer, the 2 slicers are changed. 

 

Let's use the "Prod Family" group

If we select the group and copy-paste

We change the group name and individual objects inside the group, as well as the text on the label. All ok.

As normal, the field is still the "Product Family".

But when we change it to "Product Category"

Then the "original" slicer is also changed

As a test, we duplicated again the original group and deleted the field from the slicer just to see again the same behavior.

Status: Investigating

Seems like could not reproduce it in my side as far as my test with the same version of Power BI Desktop.

When I copied the group and change one field in it, the original group is still be the previous and not be changed. See:

If I have tested anything incorrectly, please feel free to let me know, or you can consider provding a sample file without any sentive information which could reproduce this issue.
