Advocate IPower BI item.metadata.json file missing "description"
The "Description" value in the item.metadata.json file is always missing when I save a Power BI report as a Power BI project (.pbip) file.
Documentation says there is a description field in the json file. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/projects/projects-dataset#itemmetadatajson
In the service there is a description field.
This means that whenever I change and publish a report to the service the description is always missing. The description is important as this is displayed in the UI in our embedded scenario and I have to manually add the description back in for every workspace the report dataset exists so customers can see it again.
Is this a known bug or am I missing a step?
Thanks,
Christian
HI Christian_Key,
As the document said, this feature still in preview and so of features may not fully released to power bi service side. (power bi service will use stable version of features)
Power BI Desktop project semantic model folder - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
If you faced some usage issues about these previous features, I'd like to suggest you contact to power bi support team to report this scenario.
