When adding a filter/slicer to the Filter pane, You can now enable/ tick the option to : "Requires single selection". Which then allows the user to only select one option from the filter. However, this option needs a little improvement as it can easily be overwrite this by doing any of the following :



  - CTRL + clicking several options 



  - Deselecting the selected option (causing a Select All)



  - Erasing the filter (causing a Select all)



There are currently on page visual slicers that fully enforce a single select (such as a Chiclet slicer) and the same behavior should be applied to filter pane filters/slicers.

Yes, this is critical. Especially since the release of field parameters!
