Please add/consider following for the new filter experience (currently in preview mode):
- Possibility to edit the filter name visual to consumer

Above is possible to rename for current normal visual filters on page.

Oh hey, they just delivered this in the April 2019 Power BI Desktop Release. Nice!

Yeah!

It was awesome when we got the capability to change the names of fields in visualizations. Now, we also need to be able to do so with page-level and report-level filters.

Especially because: what if I change the name of a field in a visualization, AND I have that same field as a report-level filter? They cannot have the same name, which will cause confusion for end users of the report.
