Add an extra field from a data source
A power bi newbie here. Say if I import a table A from a data source into power bi, some minor changes to the imported dataset. calculated columns, measures etc. Now I add a new field in the table...

If I didn't misunderstood you, when you refresh in power bi desktop your new added column will automatically be imported.
In case someone else finds help from this:
I have a API that has simple JSON data in one level. The new column wouldn't show for me with refresh. The solution to my problem was to edit the "Expanded Column1". The new column was not selected there, and I just selected the new column and it was ready to use.
However, if anyone has an idea how to update more automatically (like just with clicking "Refresh Preview") I would be happy to try it out.
Agree with others. MS needs to make an automatic check for new columns of data and ask you what you want to do with them. Tableau pulls them in automatically and they are just there in case you want to use them.
