Date slicer not able to type in text box

[Bart_Poelert]

Hello,

Since the march 2022 update its no longer possible to manualy type a date in a date slicer box for our users.

When i select the imput box for the date it directly shows a date picker and im not able to change the date with the keyboard

When i publish a blank pbix to the services created with the latest version of powerbi desktop the slicer is functioning fine and as excpected. 

The tip i got is to open the old pbix files and republish them to the service. However the date slicers keep the old format.

Recreating all the dashboards is not a option because of the size of the files, this will take a long time.

The old reports also do not show the calander icons (see screenshot).

how do i update the pbix file to use the latest version of the slicer?

update:

I did some digging in the different pbix files by opening them with winrar.

there i see a difference in de basetheme json file 

the json is located in "Report\StaticResources\SharedResources\BaseThemes"

In a new file the base json is 'CY22SU03.json' (march 2022)

In my old files the base json is 'CY21SU11.json' (november 2021)

I treid replacing the file via winrar but this does not have any affect. 

How do i upgrade the old file to the new basetheme json..

the content of the old file json for the slicer part:

"slicer": {
			"*": {
				"general": [
					{
						"responsive": true
					}
				]
			}
		}

in the new json it looks like this:

		"slicer": {
			"*": {
				"general": [
					{
						"responsive": true
					}
				],
				"date": [
					{
						"hideDatePickerButton": false
					}
				],
				"items": [
					{
						"fontColor": {
							"solid": {
								"color": "#252423"
							}
						},
						"padding": 4,
						"accessibilityContrastProperties": true
					}
				]
			}
		}

Hi @Bart_Poelert ,

Can you try download the pbix file from the Power BI Service and open it with the latest version and save it as a copy. And publish the copy to replace the original report on service.
