Metadata updates in Power BI Service causes issues with GIT integration

[SuppiLo]

We are using GIT integration TMDL files in Power BI Service. This week our semantic models started to receive changes in Service. When change is committed two files are changed, model.tmdl and culture/en-US.tmdl.

culture en-US text changes to cultureInfo en-US. Problem with this is that latest version on Power BI Desktop (2.128.1177.0 (24.04) (x64)) does not recognize this new metadata change.

Here is the error we receive when we try to open .pbip file with Power BI Desktop:

TMDL Format Error:

Parsing error type - UnsupportedObjectType

Detailed error - Unsupported object type - cultureInfo is not a supported property in the current context!

Document - './model'

Line Number - 36

Line - 'ref cultureInfo en-US'

We can undo changes in Power BI Service or modify cultureInfo -> culture to go around this issue.

Hi  @SuppiLo 

What about if you roll back to a previous version? Will there be an error reported? If no error is reported, what is the corresponding version of Desktop?

There was new version of Power BI released on friday, 2.128.1380.0 64-bit.

Issue still persists. Not an huge issue, just annoying since we can undo updates in Power BI Service or modify cultureInfo text back to culture.
