Variable Library - Not able to select in drop-down menu

[FabienLhonneur]

Hi,

I'm struggling to use variable library because (and it's new) I'm not able to select a variable that is in a different part of the drop-down menu comparated to the first variable I've selected(!!). In fact it's an erratic behavior as sometimes it blocks on the second variable, sometimes on the third...

I Know this is very confusing so attached to this post you'll find a video showing it : first I selected the last variable I have which is "GUID_DataflowsStagingLakehouse" and then I'm trying to use one of the first, for example "GUID_StagingLakehouse" and it works fine. Then I try to select "GUID_VenteModel" and you'll see that te cursor goes up to "GUID_StagingLakehouse" so I'm not able to select my variable which is very frustrating...

Is this a known bug? I've not seen it anywhere and it makes variable libraries unusable....

Thank you in advance.

Hi @FabienLhonneur 

seems like a known bug, not official though 

https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftFabric/comments/1krajn5/bug_after_8_variables_are_created_in_a_var...

This matches the behavior you described, where the cursor jumps back and you cannot select your intended variable.

Hi @nilendraFabric ,

That's indeed exactly the behavior I described, and it seems that MS is working on it considering this answer : 

Thank you for your help 🙂

Hi @v-prasare,

I don't think you opened @nilendraFabric's URL from Reddit. I took my screenshot from that Reddit thread. There is no bug tracking URL or anything like that at themoment, and the bug is nothas not been resolved yet.

PS : I'm not tracking my issue with Microsoft, I'm just waiting for the patch.
