Field Descriptions Disappearing (Power BI Desktop)

I've noticed that when I refresh my dataset, it clears out any descriptions that I have setup for my standard fields (non-measures). Can somebody help me figure out a way to retain those values regardless of the dataset being refreshed or not? I'm currently on this version of Power BI Desktop.

Hello @slm_chance,

 

Did you find a solution for the above issue? We are facing the same problem...

did you open a seperate issue to report this? If so could you please share the link so I can track it there?

 

Thank you!

Hi @SamB7 - issue is linked below.  I had the same issue, but I have not tried the March 2022 release yet to see if the issue still exists in that version.

It is still in the March release but I saw on the issues forum board that a fix should be out in the April update , so we have our finger's crossed for that one to resolve the issue

Just tested it in the latest version, seems to be working fine.

We're seeing the same issue.  Strangely only happening on some of our data models and not on others ?!
