Field Descriptions Disappearing (Power BI Desktop)
slm_chance , Field descriptions in Property pane (model view). That should not go away- Check and log an issue if needed https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues
This has happened for me again recently.
The descriptions for the tables that I had added would be working ok in the orginal *.pbip and *.pbix file however when exporting the file to a power BI template (*.pbit) and then loading the template with data, the descriptions suddenyl disappeared...
Just in case it helps others: it seems that this was somehow linked to the version the descriptions were added with.
After revisiting all the descriptions (e.g. by adding a space or a dot at the end) and saving the report in Power BI Version 2.140.1078.0 64-bit (February 2025), the issue resolved.
