Actually I can only set a custom Title in a Slicer. Then I have to Disable the Header.

When I disable the header, I loose the functionalities, like clear selections and display as a Dropdown.

But, when I display the Header, I see the column name and I cannot change what is displayed there, except when I change the name of the column. Which is not what want to do in any case.

Basically, the Title feature is useless, when I can change the Text of the Header and retain the functionalities mentioned above.

An alternative is to separate the selections mentioned above, from the header and make them available at any time.

My workaround for this issue is to keep the Header, but make the font color the same as the background. Then I use the Title to set the name for the visual. This then retains the clear selection icon.

RE: Add customizations in Slicer Header

I was really happy to see the dropdown option added to the slicer, but then hit this above problem.

If you want to set a Title and disable the Header (e.g. due to field name not being clear/useful) then you lose the Clear selection button.

Really need to see all the same capabilities of Title added to Header.
