Adding mandatory fields to Report Settings

Hi, 

 

I understand the only mandatory field that needs to be populated when the report is published in Power BI service is Report name. Unfortunately, this makes it harder to manage reports from the maintenance perspective when contact info, description etc. are missing. I was wondering:

1. If it is possible to set some non-mandatory fields to mandatory so that e.g. 'Description' is always populated

2. If new mandatory fields can be added to this table e.g. 'Responsible team'

 

Thanks in advance!

Similarly, is it possible to make fields mandatory when a dataset is published?

Hi! I'm sorry but you can't make those fields mandatory. I think it's a very good idea what you have in there. Feel free to suggest it at https://ideas.powerbi.com
