We are creating Visuals using Power BI API Client(JavaScript).Once it is created I want to pre populate all selected Capabilities and filters in another view.I used Visual.getFilters() method to get all pre selected filters but in each item I am not getting the capability to which it belongs,Is there is any way to get capability name with each filter. for example

I selected bellow properties for creating a visual

Visual Type = Funnel

Capabilities

1 Group = Group1

2 Values = value1

after saving this visual when we execute getFilters(),we are getting this two objects but it does not contains Capability names like Group/Values

It is not possible to get the capability names in each filter using getFilters(), we can get the Capability Names by using getCapabilities. To get the capability names, follow the below steps:

  1. Create an authoring page:
window.authoringPage = await report.addPage(pageName);
  1. Create a visual using Create a visual API:
const createVisualResponse = await page.createVisual('Visual_Name');
const visual = createVisualResponse.visual;
  1. Get the applied filters using getFilters():
const filters = await visual.getFilters();

We didn't get capabilities of each filter in filters object

  1. Get the Capability Names by using getCapabilities:
const capabilities = await visual.getCapabilities();
