Report Refresh Error (msdyn mobileapp)

Hi,

My reports have been refreshing every night for several years without any problems until today, this is the error message I get:


I'm not very technical and so I hope the fix is easy and straightforward, can anybody shed some light on why this has happened and how to fix it please?

Thank you!

  • Hi ArchStanton​ 

    The refresh failure is caused by a Dataverse metadata conflict: the msdyn_mobileapp table has two conflicting definitions for the msdyn_mobileappid property (OData error 10306) this is on the Dataverse/CRM side, not the report itself

    I suggest checking Power Platform admin center/Service Health for any active incident, and Solution history for recent changes to msdyn_mobileapp

    Did it work? 👍 A kudos would be appreciated

  • This error is from the Dynamics 365 CRM OData metadata, not Power BI itself.

    The key error is:

    msdyn_mobileappid_msdyn_mobileapp has conflicting definitions of the property msdyn_mobileappid_msdyn_mobileapp

    Likely cause

    The D365 environment has a duplicate/conflicting relationship or metadata definition for the msdyn_mobileapp table.

    What to do

    Open Power Apps → Solutions.

    Check the msdyn_mobileapp table and its relationships.

    Look for duplicate/conflicting relationship definitions involving msdyn_mobileappid_msdyn_mobileapp.

    Publish all customizations.

    If the issue remains, run Power Platform/D365 metadata validation or raise a Microsoft support ticket.

    Since the refresh is failing at the OData metadata level, changing Power BI Import settings will not fix it

      Thanks, I've passed this onto our IT department who are still digging into what to do

      Hi, 
      what changes do you apply to duplicated/conflicting relationship definition in the solution?
      I though we cannot change anything in it as it's Microsoft managed solution.

        Thank you so much for sharing all this, I will pass it onto our IT team.

        I'm not able to answer your question as all this is sitting with our IT department. I am due a call with them later and if I can find out anything relevant I'll share it with you.

        You mention that the manual refresh should be manually reactivated? Are you saying that If I manually reschedule the refresh then there's a chance it might work again?




  • We are having the same issue since the 12th of September with datasets failing to refresh across multiple clients .
    Error is:
    DataSource.Error: The feed's metadata document appears to be invalid. Error: The type Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.msdyn_mobileapp has conflicting definitions for the property msdyn_mobileappid_msdyn_mobileapp.

    DataSourceKind = Cds | DataSourcePath = https://client.crm11.dynamics.com/ | Property = msdyn_mobileappid_msdyn_mobileapp

    This happens if a dataset is connected to Dataverse using CDS connector. 
    The error appears only on Dataverse were Mobile Apps Solution is present (installed 2 days ago).

    It does not matter if you are using msdyn_mobileapp table or not - CDS checks the whole source scheme before even getting a table - if there is a bug - it throws the error
    The issue is replicated on service and on desktop - clearing credentials does not help, removing the solution from Microsoft is not possible. 
    Logged a ticket with MS - being redirected to Dataverse team - waiting for response.

    **I had a call with MS support - they offer to run script to failing environments remotely (it worked for few that we tested)
    But we need to give them 200+ PApps urls +OrgIDs to run the scrip manually) - not sure if we can do that.
    Set aside the fact that refresh schedule should be manully re-activated.

    Thanks, I spoke to our IT department and its something that they're investigating.
    My organisation doesn't use the mobileapp so maybe removing it will fix the issue?

    I'm surprised that other users haven't flooded the forum because this was a wholesale deployment / change that Microsoft made yesterday

    Hi ArchStanton​ 

    Thanks for posting the full error that screenshot explains it.

    This is a Dataverse metadata conflict, not a problem with your report:

    The type Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.msdyn_mobileapp has conflicting definitions for the property msdyn_mobileappid_msdyn_mobileapp.

    The refresh fails while Power BI reads the Dataverse metadata — before it ever reaches your data. That's why it makes no difference that your organisation doesn't use the mobile app table, and why others here hit it through the CDS connector too.

    @EvgeniAb flagged Power Platform known issue 6697187: https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/support/knownissues/6697187

    That page needs an admin sign-in, so I can't confirm its status or timeline from here your Power Platform admin can check it under Support > Known issues. Since the conflict sits in Dataverse, the fix has to come from that side; there's nothing to change in Power BI.

    A few things worth knowing:

    1. Your admin should check the known issue and Service health, and if it's still active, raise a case from the Power Platform admin center quoting the issue ID, environment URL and org ID.
    2. Don't rebuild the model or clear credentials — neither will help. @Serintek and @KevinAec, this especially applies to you: the refresh never reaches your tables, so your models are intact.
    3. Editing or removing the Microsoft-managed solution isn't a viable workaround — managed components can't be edited directly, and customising around them creates dependencies that complicate later updates.
    4. Once it's fixed, check whether your schedule needs switching back on Power BI disables scheduled refresh after four consecutive failures.

    One general note: please don't send a .pbix to anyone, publicly or privately it usually contains cached data, queries and connection details. Keeping things in the public thread also means the advice gets peer-reviewed. No accusation intended toward anyone; it's guidance we give on every thread.

    If anyone gets an update from their support case, please post it back here  it'll help the others.

      Thanks for the information.
      So thanks to this Microsoft update, my organisation has been without up to date Management Information for 5 consecutive days, it really isn't a good situation. I really hope Microsoft treat this as a priority, we must have this up and running before month-end as our entire business model is dependent on end-of-month stats. Is there anyway this can escalated?

        Some folks in our org have gotten their tickets with Microsoft resolved already, so hopefully yours gets fixed soon. My environment is still in the works of getting fixed, but according to one of the Microsoft support staff helping me, the mitigation is expected to be automatically rolled out to everyone by this weekend.

  • Any update? I'm having the exact same issue with all of my dashboards since Sunday, was Microsoft able to respond to your ticket/resolve the issue on their end?

      I've passed the information that EvgeniAb gave me to my IT department and have a follow up call in an hour to find out the latest.

      I'm surprised at how few posts there are about this issue - Microsoft have really dropped the ball here, looks like my organisation with be without up to date MI for at least 2 whole days if not more

        Same thing here, no update for our dashboards because of this problem. If anyone finds a solution, please let us know.

  • Same issue here, can't think of any work arounds to avoid spending weeks rebuilding queries and relationship tables. If only Microsoft can allow us to pull the original metadata column names.

    A ticket has been logged with Microsoft by our IT dept, I'm hoping this gets resolved before month-end reporting. If this isn't fixed by then we are in trouble

      I have been facing the same issue since 13th September. I found a workaround using Power Query (M Query) that successfully resolves the error. If you can share your Power BI report file with me, I’d be happy to help you implement the workaround and resolve the issue.

        Unfortunately our organisations data is highly sensitive so that's impossible.

        Was it straightforward enough for you to provide some step by step instructions?
