Hi ChristopheB - When changing a model that uses Direct Query to connect a Power BI dataset or Analysis Services model, you must update the ChangedProperties and PBI_RemovedChildren collection for the changed object to include any modified or removed properties. If ChangedProperties and/or PBI_RemovedChildren isn't updated, Power BI Desktop may overwrite any changes the next time the query is edited or the model is refreshed in Power BI Desktop.Refering to:Power BI Desktop projects (PBIP) - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

 

Hope it helps

Hi rajendraongole1 , Thank you for your help.

I don't understand. I am not changing anything to the model?

I download a report from a workspace.

I save the report as pbip.

I get the error.

 

The report is indeed using a live connection to a dataset (semantic model) in the workspace.

 

When and in which file should I make changes regarding ChangedProperties?
