Filter URL not working in on Prem PowerBI server (May 22 ed)

We have  a cluster with a PowerBI Report Server, May 2022 edition. We use PowerBI reports with Import mode primarily. I have tried to add to even the simplest report a URLfilter. Like this:
https://reportservername.com:8080/reports/powerbi/Reports/Experiments/Reportname?filter=Status eq 'Lost'

Is there any particular setting that needs to be activated? The Status field in the example above, is a field from a dimension I use. I did even drag it into the All Pages filter pane to no help. Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

Your example will not work since you have not specified which table contains the Status column. As per the examples in the docs Filter a report using query string parameters in the URL - Power BI | Microsoft Learn you need to use something like ?filter=table/column eq 'value' if the server cannot match the table or column name the filter will not be applied

I was stupid enough to interpret the table/column as a naming of the field. Thank you for pointing out the obvious error!
