I would like to have the possibility to use in the filter pane Hierarchy.

At the moment it is not possible to Drag and Drop Hierarchy in the filters pane.

I know that already exist the custom visual for Hierarchy slicer, but I'm focusing on the filters pane.

This would be a great addition that would allow us to not ave every level of the hierarchy as a individual filter since we have several hierarchies with multiple levels that leads to having a filter panel with very many single filters which could be done with just 3 or 4. In addition it would be the cleanest way to have this in the filter pane, so it doesn't take up real estate in the actual report.

This is a great one to resurface for support now that the hierarchy slicer is a core visualization. It would be awesome to have this same capability in the filter pane to have a hierarchy in a single filter card. Right now, we have to add each level of a hierarchy as individual filter cards.

'+1 This would be great. The filter pane is a nice and clean solution, and I would prefer to have all filters in the pane.

You should design a filter that has the hierarchy mode, or as a complement to the filter you have.

As it is now when you use Hierarchy in some viz. automatically in the viz object filters pane
appear all fields belonging in the hierarchy but as its own, not collapsed into an hierarchy.
About report and report filters pane, as already said it is not possible to drag and drop hierarchy.

Filters pane is very useful to do not waste space in the report canvass, that's why I'd like to have this feature instead of custom viz.
