Custom Visuals Persistent Filters in App are broken

[jspwilli]

When publishing a report (connected to a dataset in the same workspace), persistent filters are not working in the app for our custom visuals.

They are working when used in a report page for the same dataset shown in the app.

They also work fine when just viewing the report directly in the workspace.

Why would persistent filters no longer work when published to an app?

Hi @jspwilli

Please correct me if I wrongly understood your issue .

You created a report in Desktop and applied the persistent filters . Then you published the report to Service , and created an app . Persistent filters worked well in app . Then you created a report in Service with the shared dataset in the same workspace , and updated the app , but persistent filters didn't work , right ? 

I tested it as I understood it , enabled persistent filters , published the report to the app , and tested it in the app , when I filtered the data, then switched to other reports , and then switched back to the filtered one report, all filters are gone .

Hi Ailsa. sounds like you understand but your video isn't right.
Persistent filters is enabled on all.

Here's a video

Every time you navigate back to the report in the app, the filters are lost.
Why does it work in a workspace but not in the app?
