Hi All, I have connected to Dataverse table using the "CommonDataService.Database" power query connector. I then used Table.Schema to find the table field captions (i.e. the Display Name) and descriptions. I can see the field but I cannot see the descriptions. Is the connector not working or is the Dataverse storing the schema description in another place?

I just tested this and can replicate the behavior you're showing, nothing showed up in the Description field even though I did add descriptions for several columns in a custom Dataverse table. So if it's a bug, it's not affecting just your tenant!
