Power Apps Integration with a BI Report: can we automatically pass in system values e.g. report ID

We have a requirement to embed the same Power App I am building in a number of BI reports .  Would be good if the we could also pass in metadata such as report id or report url as well as the fields ...

It's a great idea.  I don't think that is possible at the moment but I'll do some tests.  In the meantime please consider voting for an existing idea or raising a new one at https://ideas.powerbi.com

I poked around a bit but the "PowerBIIntegration"  object only seems to have a ".Data"  attribute. There's no trace (as far as I can tell) where the data came from.  Maybe if you examine the app code download it may reveal itself.  This here URL is less than helpful

    Yes I agreee . Even If I was to unpack the canvas app , I am not sure how I could get to any info in the data object.  It is an interesting idea tho. I wonder if we could calll on jQuery to see if we can extract details from the report. 

     

    I have seen docs covering adding the BI Report to canvas app and also a model driven app, but this does seems be moving away from what should be a simple requirement.
