Depending on the visual - there are a variety of types of fields you can include - Row, legend, value, tooltip, column, etc. The "Stuff" that shows up in the area above the filters.

Now that we can drill through to a different page - all visuals seem to need a hidden set of attributes which must be included to apply the filters properly on the drill through destination page - but should not appear on the end user's page.

This could also be useful if there is "Extra" data that should be included on export - but is not relevant to the report itself.

RE: "Hidden Fields" on visuals

Agreed. This would be especially helpful on Table and Matrix visuals where you want to drill through to a report page and the filter there is of a GUID type. What developer want to expose, and what user wants to see GUID columns in BI visuals?
