As Power BI matures...
As Power BI matures into a platform used by professional developers, enterprise architects, and pro makers, it’s time to offer a more technically sane way to edit queries...
Just a random user here who stumbled across this... Point (3) "Draft / Dev-Only Queries" is already possible in Power Query, isn't it? Tickboxes for "Enable load" and "Include in report refresh". These are not as obvious what they do as they perhaps could be, but I think it's the same effect being asked for here. Similarly, what is novel about point (2) that isn't already served by the existing option to close without applying, rather than Close & Apply? I'm not sure I understand the difference between points (1) and (4), so that might need some clarification. More broadly, my personal (perhaps controversial?) take is that more advanced/pro usage scenarios are not doing anything complex in Power Query - they're simply loading data that's been transformed upstream, in Fabric or another DW/DL/LH type source - which makes improvements like these unnecessary for those user groups. Complex Power Query set ups are more common with less mature usage scenarios, and I'm not sure many of those user subsets would really benefit from yet another feature toggle that needs to be learned about.
