Persistent Filters are TOO persistent
Microsoft rolled out a fix for me this month that may work for others with this issue. If you go to the reports page and click the gear icon for the report you will now see a toggle switch to disable retained filters. Took a while but I am now able to disable these filters on satelite reports. Thanks Microsoft!
Hi kcantor,
Sorry to hear it's not working. I just checked the pbix files that this works for one has a custom visual called 'Attribute Slicer'.
I just tested a pbix file in development at the moment and I added a mapbox visual which has just altered the functionality of that with filters and it no longer doesn't have persistent filters. A f5 simply resets all the paramters back to original settings.
Are you testing this by using save as to create a new report from the original report that was published? My problem stems from the fact that I have a Mothership report with several reports pulled out from that and saved as Satelite reports that are either smaller views or slightly customized views. The Mothership report is able to have the persistent filters removed. It is the Satelite reports that refuse. When I add the custom visual to the Mothership, it does not propegate down to the Satelite report nor does it disable the filter retention.

Hi kcantor,
I see so these are reports that have been copied within the power bi web.
I was under the understanding that once you copy the report in the web app it is essentially a separate entity with no link back to the original report is was copied from. But having looked at some reports we do have set up like this they are still linked in some aspects, but not it seems, in cascading down additions of non standard visuals. Which from your point of view is a bit annoying.
I can't see any quick way to get around this issue.
