How do I raise a bug I have found in desktop?

I have been on your Pro support page, but none of the issue types seem relevant to this problem.

Any chance you could share the bug, for the benefit of the community?

@PaulDBrown - sure, here's the link:

@mark_endicott Issues forum. You could check the Issues forum here:

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues

And if it is not there, then you could post it.

If you have Pro account you could try to open a support ticket. If you have a Pro account it is free. Go to https://support.powerbi.com. Scroll down and click "CREATE SUPPORT TICKET".

@Greg_Deckler - thanks, but there is absolutely nothing on the Pro Support page to register bugs with the Desktop UI.

Not that I could see anyway

@mark_endicott I use the Issues forum to report bugs.

@Greg_Deckler - What do you do when someone from Community Support (they have msft in their user name) has requested more info, you have provided it & they do not respond any futher?

This defect is holding up development.

@mark_endicott What is the link to the Issue? Maybe we can vote on it and get it a higher priority.

Thanks,

@mark_endicott Voted for. Although, perhaps the answer is, get the name of your parameter right the first time. 🙂

@Greg_Deckler - Thanks!

It's actually not as simple as a naming issue, I noticed this issue with desktop when trying to remove some parameter binding configuration from the server so that I can use the column for advanced filtering. Microsoft are on the verge of acknoledging I've identified a defect on the server where the parameter metadata is not fully removed when you un-bind a column. 

In the meantime I was trying everything I could to remove the parameter metadata from the column on the server (rename parameter & publish through the XMLA endpoint, delete parameter & publish through the XMLA endpoint) and stumbled across this defect in desktop too.

@Greg_Deckler thanks, have done so.
