Dataflow dont save comments outside let statement

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

it seems that we are not able to save comments in data flow in the advanced editor outside the “let statement”, regardless of the type (// or /**/). For example:

/***

Query Name: Query A

Creation Date: 2022-11-23

Author: XXXX

Purpose: ABC

***/

let

Source = Sql.Database(XXXXX), // Source

Navigation = XXXX

in

Navigation

Everything inside the “let statement” seems to be saved properly, but not outside. In Power Query in Power BI Desktop this type of commenting the code/query works without any issues.

Can we expect that this issue will be adjusted on Power BI Desktop, or will it remain this way by design? This kind of annotating of the query is required for proper documentation (at least in our company).

Hi @Anonymous ,

It's by desgin.

If you would like to suggest  feature improvements, you may  vote the idea and comment here  to improve this feature. It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.
