Content Pack for CRM and Custom Fields

[dglsmason]

The lack of support for custom fields in the Dynamics CRM Online content pack really makes it unusable for me. Any idea when support for custom entities or at least custom fields will be supported? Thanks

@dglsmason Power BI Online is delivered to design Out-of-the-box reports/dashboards using available content packs. Then comes Power BI Desktop which makes customization and connecting to different data sources easy. If Power BI Online supports customization then what's the use of Desktop tool. Anyways all the major data sources are available in Desktop tool and available for scheduled refresh as of online.

Thanks for your reply. It is extremely rare that I have a client without at least a few important custom fields. So, the only time I would likely be able to use the current version of Power BI Online is for demo purposes. Not a major complaint, just an observation. Thanks.

Are you able to use the Power BI Desktop Client / Designer, bypassing the powerbi.com pack?  I'm using the client and can select custom entities and fields.  I'm having other issues, but they do appear.
