[problem] New Text Slicer in Power BI service is now limited to 99 characters

[zllll]

Hello, I built a Tranlytical Task Flow based on text input for commentary in Power BI and suddenly slicer now doesn't accept more than 99 characters, truncates the input every time I try to run the function. This is disrupting the application I built. 

On PBI Desktop everything works fine, slicer works as expected. 

I know this is a preview feauture, but it's been 8 months since original release of Translytical Task Flows and this change is rather unexpected.

There is another post on this, not sure if you are the poster there too https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftFabric/comments/1qac9cz/new_text_slicer_now_doesnt_accept_text_99/ But Zoe from Microsoft mentioned that there will be a new input slicer by end of this month which can take longer string. This is very frustrating, as I have built a Translytical flow as well, about to go live, and got hit with this sudden change.

@mattlee Can I check if Feb 17th roll out also applicable to the capacities in SE-Asia?

SE Asia region is currently planned for Feb. 7th (not 17th)
