PowerBI JavaScript - Report Visual not showing default filters on filter panel

[AntonioCoelho]

Hi,

I'm using PowerBI-JavaScript client to render a visual. When a filter is added to the visual that is not part of the fields of the visual, this filter is not appearing on the filter panel. But when I render the Report Page and click on the visual, I can see the filter on the filter panel. See exemple bellow:

Is this a limitation of the API?

After further investigation, with the previous versions of powerbi.js (2.7.4) I would set a default filter like this:

visual.setFilters("[]")

Now, this command is wiping the default filters of the report as you can see in the example above. After making some tests I could verify that if I set the filter with "null" as string the filters are not affected.

visual.setFilters("null")

So my question is: should I use the newer version visual.setFilters("[]") or visual.setFilters("null") or is this a temporary bug?

I have clients complaining about this already!
