Numeric Slider accepting values above/below available values

Does anyone have any thoughts on why Numeric Slider input boxes might allow a user to enter a value greater or smaller than the values available in the column the Numeric slider is based on?  We would like to prevent this from occuring, and are thinking it might be a bug with the numeric slider visual.
    For instance, in the Numeric slider shown below, based on the values in the column the Numeric Slider is based on, the user should only be able to enter values between 1 and 6 in the input boxes, however they are able to enter -100 and 100 as the min/max and the slider appears to update accordingly.  I have even tried to set the page level filters to only allow the 1 through 6 range, without luck  (not ideal as this data might change).
1) Slider Min/Max which should be allowed (only options which will return results)

2) Slider with wrong values manually entered, even though min/max with non-blank values havn't changed:

Ideally, if a user added a value greater than the max value, the input slider would revert back to the largest option available after providing the end-user with an alert/explanation, but just not allowing the input is acceptable. 

Thanks for your thoughts!

Hi @KyleWilliamsBMI,

 

Please see below information: 

 

This is by Design. We let users enter any value in case they're setting a filter for data that might change in future. The scale adjusts, and if you slide it back down it'll automatically shrink to the range selected. The user can submit something on ideas.powerbi.com if they want to request a change.

 

Best Regards,
