Theme not Saving In November Update

Hello All

 

I have just updated to the November version of PBI Desktop and my report themes are no longer saving.  I have tried re-saving the JSON files with a new name but they are still not applied when I re-open the reports.  Has anyone else had this issue and if so is anyone aware of a fix?

 

Many thanks

 

Nick

Same problem over here. Created a new report in the november version of Power BI desktop. Imported my company theme and saved the report. Every time I open the report the theme has disappeared and I have to import it again. 

Hi All,

 

I have reported this issue to the Product Team. Please wait for the reply. Thanks in advance.

I am still having this problem in the December release. Has the issue been fixed for you all?

Update - I installed the December updated version a second time, and this time it looks like it's working. This time I removed the old version of PBI desktop from my computer BEFORE I downloaded and installed the new version.

Hi Dale,

 

I am wondering if you saw my previous post? In my December version, the issue persists. I was wondering if anyone else was still having this issue with the December version.

Hi Annie,

 

Could you please share some snapshots? And the steps to reproduce. I'm quite sure it works again in my test.

Hi All,

 

It works fine in my test. How can I reproduce your issue? What I have done:

1. Download a theme from here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Themes-Gallery/Spring-Day-Expos%C3%A9-Data/m-p/147299;

2. Create a simple report with a table visual. The default color is blank.

3. Import the theme file. 

4. Save the file and close. 

5. Reopen.

I do this but the theme does not 'stick' and I have to re-apply each time I open the report.  This did not happen for me in the October release.  I have tried this with several themes and the result is the same each time.  I have used themes from the gallery and modified themes.  It seems like I am not the only one but that this is not a universal issue for all users.

Hi @Rod-Average,

 

There is a new release for November. Please try it. Since I can't reproduce it locally. Could you please share your file and the steps that I can use to reproduce?

 

Best Regards!

Morning.

 

The steps were:

create a new report, apply custom theme, save and close report.  Re-open report and theme has not been applied.  This only started happening when I updated to November release. 

 

Just to be clear, is there another November update or do you mean the November update I already installed?  My current version is:

 

Version: 2.52.4921.461 64-bit (November 2017)

 

Thanks

 

Regards
