Properties Pane disappeared?
Anonymous wrote:In previous versions of PBI desktop, when connected to an existing dataset published on PBI service, right from the visualization pane, you could right click on a table, add a custom measure, then right click on your custom measure, local to the report only, and select properties and enter a description. I don't know when this change was made, but I noticed it when the interface went from the dark to light UI between versions.
Oh I see, sorry I did not realize you were talking about report level measures. You are right, this does appear to be an issue introduced with the June update (I still have a copy of the version that I use with our local Power BI Report Server instance and that still has the Field properties option). I'll make some inquiries and see if I can find out what happened here.
Apparently this was removed on purpose. :( I would suggest raising a User Voice request and posting a link back to this thread as the functionality in the new modelling view is not available for Live Connection base reports leaving a functionality gap.

Disappointing.
Where is this User Voice section you're speaking of? This is very base functionality for us.

I've told my contacts on the product team that this issue needs to be addressed, but I'm just one voice. Providing additional feedback (by adding or voting for uservoice items) will enable the team to prioritize work on this issue.
