Can't change name of average line in Power BI Desktop

I want to change the name of average line to show it as I did before. 

But when I changed name as below, visual didn't change and still show "Average line 2".

And when I clicked to "Average line 1", the name of "Average line 2" also changed back automatically.

Hi @Zhaodan - It appears you are encountering a bug or a limitation in the Power BI June 2024 version where renaming average lines is not reflecting correctly in the visual.

Visit the official Power BI support page: Power BI Support. Submit a ticket detailing the issue, including screenshots and steps to reproduce the problem.

Rename it to your desired name (e.g., Average Line & Max Line). I have renamed it , but those are not appearing in visual as below:

Thanks, it should be a occasional bug. If you want your visual show the line's name, you should enable "Data label" as below:
