Dynamic dashboard titels break after editing details

[Anonymous]

I've had a recurring problem where dynamic titles don’t work in dashboardvisualizations while working fine on report pages. After doing some testing I’ve found out that the problem appears after using the editing details function in the dashboard menu.

I’ve made a dashboard with two tiles with identical titles that show todays date in the title (in Dutch). In one of the titles I’ve changed the functionality in one of the titles via the edit details function. The next day the KPI details changed accordingly. The dynamic title however became static. The edited tile statically shows the posting date (red) and the unedited dynamically shows todays date (green).

This is a problem because I need to edit the link type and have a dynamic title showing the date. The combination doesn’t work at this moment.

Hi @Anonymous 

I tried to restore the scene you said, but it didn't work. Can you describe in detail the steps you took to set up the dynamic title ?

Hi Ailsa,

Thank you for your response. These are the steps I took:

1. I made a report with two identical KPI card visualisations. That show the number of employees the called in sick today.
2. I placed a filter based on a custom column in the date table on the visualisations. The visuals only show data form the current day.
3. I made two measures that function as dynamic titles  showing the current day using SELECTEDVALUE() on datetabel collumns (the titles differ so I can distinguish between modifications I will do when I pinned the visuals to the dashboard).
   
   
   test titel 1 = "datum " & SELECTEDVALUE('HR DimDatum'[Jaar])& " " & SELECTEDVALUE('HR DimDatum'[MaandNaam])& " " & SELECTEDVALUE('HR DimDatum'[DagNaam])
   
   

   test titel 2 = "datum details bewerkt" & SELECTEDVALUE('HR DimDatum'[Jaar])& " " & SELECTEDVALUE('HR DimDatum'[MaandNaam])& " " & SELECTEDVALUE('HR DimDatum'[DagNaam])
   
   
4. I gave both visuals a title.
5. I Published the report to Power BI service.
6. I made dashboard containing the two visualisations as tiles.
7. The I edited the details of the tile with the title “datum details bewerkt’’ (date edited details) so that functionality of this tile is set to “Set custom link”. I didn’t edit the details of the other visualisation.
8. After a day I had a look of the tiles still showed the current day. The tile I didn’t edit the showed the current day. The tile I did edit showed the editing day.
   
   

The KPI still shows the correct number of employees that called sick today. The tile where I didn’t edit the details correctly keeps on showing the current day (green). In this example you have to wait a day until you can see if the titel shows the editing day instead of the current day.
