Drilldown Automatically on

Many of the users of the dashboard have expressed confusion in using the dashboard because they don't know how to turn drill down mode on. Is there a way to set drill down mode to be on automatically without any user selection?

Hi! The drill down icons automatically appear on any visual you hover on that has fields that can be expanded. Drill mode in the Power BI service - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Hello, thanks for the message. The problem that i am having is that the button that you need to turn on will automatically turn off when the dashboard is closed. The users of my dashboard have said that this sometimes gets confusing.
