    Hello,

     

    I have also experienced this issue when changing data connections after installing the November update. I copied the error and it is very ambiguous

     

    Error Details:
    An exception of type System.InvalidOperationException occured.

     

    It broke every visual in the desktop file. Interestingly enough, when I published the file with the broken visuals to the service it worked perfectly in the service. I then saved the broken file and reopened it and my visuals started working again.

     

    Hopefully the above is helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

     

    Thanks,

    James

Support have confirmed with me that it is scheduled to be fixed in the next update, so presumably early next month.

Have just re-tested in the recently released Nov update (2.52.4921.682) and the issue seems to be resolved :smileyhappy:

    Same here, confirmed that the Nov 17th update fixed it on my end.
