Requie Single Selection in filters pane BUG

[AmmoNijjar]

In Power BI Desktop, in the filters pane when choosing "Require single selection" and then publishing to web, the end user is able to Ctrtl click to select multiple and also able to "clear" the filter to no selection. This is a bug as the "Require single selection is able to be overuled by the end user.

Hi @AmmoNijjar，

May I know what kind of roles are these users who can click on Ctrl to select multiple options and clear the filter to no selection in your report workspace? Are they Contributors, Members or Admins? If a user who only is a Viewer in this workspace, will this user encounter the same problem? If you check in Filters pane of the report in Power BI service, will you see the Require single selection option still be ticked?

Hello @v-cazheng-msft,

It happens even in Power BI Desktop when developing. It was possible using ctrl button. I really think its a bug @v-cazheng-msft.

Hi @v-cazheng-msft,

are you still investigating this issue? I see the issue dates back to May 2022 and we still see this behaviour in the app where the end user can supercede the single selection by using ctrl to select more than one category in the filter. I want to stress to you that this is crucial for us to have filters which are defined as single selectable to remain single selectable and not switch to multi selectable.

Many thanks!

@v-cazheng-msft I have found another issue which is in my view even more problematic. I want to have the following reporting dates single selectable only. Therefore, in the filter I tick the "Require single selection" box in the corresponding filter.

Deployed to the app I get the following desired setting for the end user:

However, if the end user deselects the default value (in this case 31st March 2024) then the filter becomes multi selectable:

The expected behaviour of the filter would be the same as when using a slicer for single selection:

Here neither deselection or ctrl (issue posted above) will result in have multi selection where single selection only is expected and wanted. 

Could you also please take on this issue and treat it with high priority please.

Many thanks.
