Hi Ignat,

 

We have a production release which is put on hold because of this issue. This issue impacts the whole project and the customer may shy away from PowerBI becuase of this issue.

 

Is there a way where an accelerated solution is worked on for this issue and a fix released?

 

This has really become a show stopper for us in rolling out the reports to production for the customer.

 

Regards,

Ashish

Hello Ashish,

 

I'm really sorry to hear that. Power BI Custom Visuals API team is working hard to fix this issue (I'll try to get deatails).

Current workaround is to reduce amount of custom visuals on the same page. Might this workaround be applied for your case?

    Hi Ignat,

     

    Appreciate your quick response and efforts in assisting us on this and would appreciate any further information.

     

    We are using custom control as we are migrating existing reports for the customer and they want to have functionality as close to the existing ones as possible. If we remove custom visuals, then we lose the functionality that the customer is used to and would again put the adaption of PowerBI on risk.

     

    Thanks,

    Ashish

      What kind of custom visuals do you use? Is your company a developer of these visuals?

      Is it possible to merge a few custom visuals into single one?
