Column From Example

Adding a Column From Example in Dataflows gives error before even defining it. As soon as I double click to enter the rule, I get the error. This happens in all Dataflows across multiple Workspaces. 

 

I can still Create a Column from Example in Power BI Desktop. 

 

Is this a known issue?

Status: Investigating

Based on the screenshot, looks like the data source is Web API. Before you used 'Add a column from examples' in this dataflow, have you checked that it could be loaded and refreshed successfully in Power BI Service?

 

In addition, about 'Add a column from examples' feature, here is the list of supported transformations, see:

I am edting a dataflow and I click on 
Add Column From Examples. This creates the Column1 column in the below screen shot. When i double click in the first blank cell to define the logic, before i get a chance to type anything I get the below error.

It works fine in Power BI Desktop but not in Service.

 

Regarding the supported transformations, I cannot even start to type in the transformation before the error pops up.
