Single selection slicer reverts to multi-select

Greetings

 

I have a Power BI report developed in desktop, published to a workspace and distributed as an app.  I am currently using the July 2022 version of desktop.  On one of the report tabs, I have a slicer that I have explicitly set as single select.  This was working fine until recently (within the last month or so).  Within desktop, I see that the slicer has single select turned on (that is the only option I have there).  When I publish this to server, the single select option is turned off and the slicer becomes a multi-select.  I then opened the report for edit on server, there I have the single select option and two others (Multi-select with CTRL, and Show "Select All") all three off.  I turn on the single select option, save the report, close and re-open.  The slicer reverts again back to a multi-select.  One other aspect of the report page that could be relevant is there are two slicers on the page the first one is intentionally a multi-select slicer.

 

Have others in the community experienced this behavior recently?

Have there been any recent changes that would govern the use of mutiple slicers of different types?

@Anonymous  - Do you have any bookmarks that might be chagng the slicer selection type to multi-select ? Worth checking and updating the bookmarks.

@gauthamboppana I did add a bookmark as part of an update recently to support drill-through functionality.  I updated the bookmark and re-applied.  Long story short, that ultimately changed the slicer back to a single select.  Much appreciated, Thank you.
