Import pbiviz from file instead gets latest appsource version
Hello,
It's the expected behavior.
Your visual is in CDN and PowerBI takes it from there by GUID, despite you imort new one.
If you want to test your changes, you can change GUID and import the visual, however, the report for submission sending has to contain visual with original GUID.
Kind Regards,

I recommend to re-import the visual into the report nevertheless.

I will try this Evgenii,
Thanks for the help.
It would be nice to add a checkbox somewhere that told power bi to ignore the CDN.
You can pull this off by disabling your network connection at the time of importing from file, or as you said changing the GUID for the visual but this is a bigger pain than needed to ensure we are delivering quality products to power bi users.

Another workaround: If you have admin control of your Power BI tenant (or can work with someone who does), then you can also upload your custom visual as an organizational visual and import it from your organizational store. This will override anything currently in AppSource and I frequently use it as an alternate testing approach.
Thanks for the info, I will use that strategy for testing moving forward. That definitely beats my strategy of disabling my network connection so it couldn't reach to cdn to override the version to import.
