Lock Objects does not work after Power BI restart

The option "Lock Objects" in a report in Power BI Desktop does not work when I save the Power BI project and restart/re-open it.

Hi @UserTobi,

 

According to this article, this setting isn’t saved with the report, so you’ll need to enable it any time(after restarting/re-opening) you want to use it. Smiley Happy
