When building a PowerBI App, many reports may use the exact same data source and/or naming convention. As users consume the reports and apply filters either via slicers or filters, these changes do not carry over when a user selects another report within the same workspace App.

Currently, when switching from one report to another report within the same App, users are required to apply / reapply these filter criteria.

From a user experience stand-point, it would be great to implement persistent filters that continuously apply across multiple reports within an App. In this way, if there are say 10 reports, any filters applied to one report would propagate throughout the entire App.

Yes. This feature is useful when there are many reports in 1 single app

RE: Enable persistent filters across PowerBI App

Agree - one may suggest using cross-report drill through, but this functionality propagates the source report filters as page level filters within the target file. What we need is the ability to configure cross-report drill through so that we can choose between page level or report level propagation.
