field properties for Measures

Hi

 

Just watched the December update video. Really like the "Field properties" labelling. However, I can only get this to work on standard column names, and NOT on any of my measures.

 

Do I need to do something different for Measures, to what was shown in the video?

 

Thanks

    "It should work but we found a bug in this area. We are working on a fix for this issue so it will work once we can get an update out."

     

    Hopefully will be fixed soon, as this is a great addition.

    Hi Neil, I have the same issue.

    When I enter a description on the measure and click outside the Description box, it deletes the text I entered.

     

    Here is an idea that requests descriptions for measures.

    I had the same issue with the field properties for measures. However, it was showing up as a description when I ran measures schema on it in Dax Studio. So I saved the PBIX, closed it, opened it back up, and all the field properties I had entered for those measures were now showing up. Sounds like a glitch or something...

        I know you marked this as solved, but FYI its under the DATA Modeling section, under properties. The new update referes to this section as synonyms
