    Hi gy_1982 ,

    Please check you have updated the app successfully.

    After you publish your app, you may want to change or update it.

    1. Open the workspace that corresponds to the app. If you're a workspace Admin or Member, you can also open the workspace right from the app, by selecting the Edit app pencil.
    2. Make any changes you want to the content of your app.

    The workspace is your staging area, so your changes aren't live in the app until you publish again. This lets you make changes without affecting the published apps.

     Important

    If you remove a report and update the app, even if you add the report back to the app, your app consumers lose all customizations they've made, such as bookmarks, comments, and so on.

    1. Select Update app in the Workspace content view.
    2. Update Setup, Content, and Audience, if you need to, then select Update app.

    The people you've published the app to automatically see the updated version of the app.

gy_1982 did this solve your issue?

 

Anonymous I'm having the same issue, and many other people. But not sure if you guys understand the problem since multiple possible solutions have been suggested. The date slicer, in the past, updates to the max date. Specifically if using a calendar table which ends on Today() or even EOMONTH(TODAY(),0). So anytime the report refreshed, it would update the calendar to the max date AND update the date slicers to the max dates. 

But for the last few months (I originally posted about it on 02-10-2023 with no solution thus far), the date slicer will only update to the last date it was published. The calendar table continues to work fine and includes all dates up to the max determined in the function. So we have to manually change the date slicer every time we use the report. This is not a great user experience. I've tried a bunch of hacks to get it to work. 

But there must have been an update in the beginning of February 2023 that broke this functionality.
