True/False DAX filter not working

Hi,

 

I converted my formula to output 0/1 and it works.  I can use it as a workaround but I still wonder if anybody knows why the True/False version is not working.  It is a Power BI limitation (bug?)

 

When the formula returns true/false it's not even possible to open the filter to set it up.  I tried deleting and reinserting many times and it never works.  (See image-1)  But by changing it to 1/0 it behaves perfectly.  (See image-2)

Yes, There TRUE/FALSE are not accepted, you need have either 1 or 0.

@molegris why not do this, change the last line to the following code:

 

__maxSessions = __globalMaxSessions

Thank you but I've tried this too.  Same behavior: you can see the filter but it is impossible to set it.

According to @Fowmy  it is a known behavior.  I'm just hope Microsoft will eventually fix it!

Thank you for comfirming it. 

Do you know if Microsoft has documented it anywhere?  Do they consider this to be Working as documented or is it an Issue/Bug to be resolved ?
