Export to PDF / PowerPoint changing bookmark selections

When exporting to PDF the service is changing bookmark selections back to the default state which is causing the wrong data to export.

In the first screen shot I have set the date range by selecting the Range bookmark for the paid date and entered the range I want.  You can see the chart on the left is showing the correct data which goes back to May-2021.

However, when the export takes place, the Paid Date bookmark is switched back to the Relative view and the set to to "Last 12 months" which is the default state of the bookmark (what you would get if you hit reset to default).

This is a screen shot of the PDF that is generated.  This also happens if you export to PowerPoint.

Yes, this appears to be an issue. 

 

@jdbuchanan71 thank you for take time and effort to raise awareness and present as an Issue.

I have created an example file that demonstrates the problem.  If you publish the .pbix to your personal workspace as is, the default slicer selction is 'Last 6 months'.  If you change it to Range using the bookmark and export to PDF, the export reverts to show the last 6 months.

Default state of report:

Hi @jdbuchanan71 

Are you creating a regular bookmark or a personal bookmark?Do you have the same problem if you use PDF export in Desktop?

This is a regular bookmark, created in the .pbix file and publised to the service (see sample file linked).

When I export to PDF in desktop the correct bookmark is used.
