power bi api Get Tile Title returns null

Just need to confirm some behavior.

 

  1. Add a visual from a report to a dashboard.
  2. The visual has Title set to on and the Title appers in the dashboard Tile.
  3. GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/dashboards/{dashboardId}/tiles/{tileId}After calling
    The Tile Title is null.
  4. In PowerBi online in the dashboard click on tile edit details the Title is there (click) apply.
  5. Call the Get Tile. The Title is now returned as expected.

Is this expected behavior or should the Title be returned by default without having to edit the details and click apply?

    HI Anonymous,

    I test with the same rest API based on my 'group', 'dashboard', 'tile' id and it works well. It shows the correct 'tile title' and it can be updated if I edit the 'title title' on the dashboard.

    {
      "title": "Testing",
      "subTitle": "12314",
    }

    What type of tile are you test? The underlying data source and connection mode? Which type of workspace are you test? Please provide more detailed information to help us clarify and troubleshoot your scenario.

    Details:

    • Workspace v2
    • Connection is using Service Principle
    • Underlying datasource was made from a static json file
    • Tile was pined from report
    • Tile is set to on in Report
    • No subtile is set

     

     

     

     

    The call is made in a .Net Core 3.1 web api application

    Using Nuget Package Microsoft.PowerBi.API v3.18.0

     

    But I have tested with:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/dashboards/gettilesingroup

    Response contains everything except Title.

     

     

    {
      "@odata.context": "http://wabi-canada-central-redirect.analysis.windows.net/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/$metadata#tiles",
      "value": [
        {
          "id": "groupId",
          "embedUrl": "embeddUrl"
          "rowSpan": 0,
          "colSpan": 0,
          "reportId": "reportId",
          "datasetId": "datasetId"
        }
      ]
    }

     

     

     After editing detials and clicking apply

        }

      Hi Anonymous,

      Did this issue only appear with specific workspaces? have you test with other type of workspace contents?
