Slicer visual : mode theme setting not applied

[bdarbo78]

Another theme issue, which has been around for ages.
I need to set the default mode of slicers (legacy) to dropdown. The corresponding code in the json theme file is provided below. The issue is that the setting is not immediately effective, either on existing slicer visuals or when creating new ones after applying the theme. It only becomes effective when selecting "reset all settings to default" on the slicer visuals.

        "slicer": {
            "*": {
                "data": [
                    {
                        "mode": "Dropdown"
                    }
                ],
                ...

I disagree with considering this as an improvement. 

Documented theme settings are supposed to have an effect. When they don't, it's called a bug, and fixing it should be put on the roadmap.
