Hi all,
Creating a Power BI custom connector that uses basic auth.
Authentication = [
UsernamePassword = [
UsernameLabel = Extension.LoadString("UsernameLabelText"),
PasswordLabel = Extension.LoadString("PasswordLabelText")]
],
Label = Extension.LoadString("DataSourceLabel")
Is there a way to put an "info" description next to the Username or Password label in the Authentication prompt? Please see image below:
I'd like this info icon/description:
To appear here as well:
Thank you,
UIT
Hi @cboake
If I create a custom connector in Power Apps, it is easy to add such info beside the label.
If you create custom connectors with other ways, please refer to:

Hi Maggie,
This is helpful for PowerApp custome connectors, however this question is specifically for PowerBI custom connectors.
@cboake Did you get any response for this? Please let me know. I have similar requirement.
