powerbi.embed with "slicers" config element stopped working correctly after "powerbi-client" v2.20.1

[ironklad]

We are using the NuGet package Microsoft.PowerBi.JavaScript (https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-JavaScript) to implement a Power BI Embedded report solution.  We are using the powerbi.embed config "slicers" setting to pre-set slicer values during report load.  Everything works correctly using versions up to and including v2.20.1.  Starting with v2.21.0 of the package the powerbi.embed config "slicers" setting is no longer functioning properly.

In the examples below the powerbi.embed config "slicers" element is set to the "Daytona" property.

v2.20.1 the report initially loads with the correct value set in the slicer and the correct filtered data displayed on the report:

Starting with v2.21.0 (tested through v2.22.0) the report initially loads with the report default value set to "All" and the report showing all available data.

However as soon as you click on the dropdown, it immetiately changes to display "Daytona".  However the report is still displaying all data, it is not filtered by "Daytona" even thought the slicer indicates it should be.

In order to see "Daytona" data correctly you need to uncheck "Daytona" in the slicer, and then re-check it after which the slicer displays "Daytona" and the report shows "Daytona" data.

For reference, in the above example the powerbi.embed config "slicers" value is set to:

[

    {

        "selector": {

            "$schema": http://powerbi.com/product/schema#slicerTargetSelector,

            "target": {

                "table": "Property",

                "column": "Property Name"

            }

        },

        "state": {

            "filters": [

                {

                    "$schema": http://powerbi.com/product/schema#basic,

                    "target": {

                        "table": "Property",

                        "column": "Property Name"

                    },

                    "filterType": 1,

                    "operator": "In",

                    "values": [

                        "Daytona"

                    ],

                    "requireSingleSelection": false

                }

            ]

        }

    }

]

In summary, it appears that starting with v2.21.0 the powerbi.embed config "slicers" functionality is failing in the following ways:

• Slicer displays report default value on report load (instead of displaying the "slicers" override value)
• Slicer filters using report default values on report load (instead of filtering using the "slicers" override value)
• On clicking slicer dropdown the slicer changes to display the config "slicers" value.  However the report remains filtered using the report default values.
