I have a user who tried to favorite a report in Power BI app and got error message "Failed to favorite, please try again". Attached image with error and details here.
User has E5 license and is set as a member in the workspace. We all have similar licenses and accesses but he is the only one who received the error and cannot favorite the report. Has anyone experienced this and know how to troubleshoot it?
Please help and share your solution. Thanks in advance.
Hi Tracy,
Did you get a resolution to this? I have a user experiencing the same.
Thanks
Hello, did you get the solution to this issue? One of my colleagues faces the same error
Hey @JK78
We cannot reproduce any error with favoriting items in Power BI mobile apps.
Can you please be more specific on the error your user is experiencing? Any chance it was a temporary error?
Thanks, Maya
Thank you
Hey @msksenthil ,
We are not aware of any issue with marking report as favorite. Can you please provide more details?
Thanks, Maya

Hey @tracyhopaulson ,
Can it be a transient error? or does it happen all the time?
On what platform does this error occur?
Can you also provide version number?
Thanks, Maya
One more thing, it appears he was able to add some other reports to his Favorites. Not sure why there is an issue with this particular report.
Where does this happen? Does he try to favorite the report in his Power BI Mobile Apps or in a web browser on computer? Or it happens on other devices?
Best Regards,

Report is accessed from his desktop computer and website https://app.powerbi.com. No other devices. For now, he has to go to the workspace and search for the report name. It would be helpful to favorite it for quick & easy access. Please advise if you have solution for this. Thanks
I found some old issues which had the same error message when failing to favorite a report, but no solution is provided there. I suggest that you create a support ticket to seek for more help. It is free as the user has Power BI Pro license. How to create a support ticket in Power BI
