Button On Hover Not Working

Hi,

I have published on Service a report in which I use some Buttons showing info on hover.
All of a sudden that function stopped working only in the published version on Service. Desktop version works fine.

I tried to castomize the button giving it different shapes, text, font color etc. but when I publish that on my workspce on Service, it seems that the only applied changes are those for the default mode. When I hover over the button, it doesn't respond at all.
Any idea please ?

 

Thank you!

It seems that Microsoft has changed the functionality of blank buttons.
TRY THIS:

Click on your button and then on the Format button section on the right hand side of your screen click on Style.
Then on state select On hover. And finally Enable Action. Keep "back" as a set action but disable tooltip.
That will short your issue.

The fix mentioned in this discussion works but is a workaround for an underlying bug.

 

Could I kindly ask Microsoft when the underlying bug will be resolved?

Completely agree. Fix the bug MSFT. The workaround sort of works, but I really didn't want to give my buttons "back" actions as required by the workaround. Not optimal.

Also agree.  Original functionality was perfect - it should not need a workaround.  Please bring back ease of original functionality.

Of course 🙂

I'm seeing the same issue. Multiple buttons which used to show alternative text when hovering (working fine for many months of using this report), no longer respond to hover at all. Same report in desktop works as before, but not the version published in the service.

Hi @Mipapadi


Congratulations on solving this issue and thanks for sharing your solution.

 

Please remember to accept your solution as answer.

 

It will do great help to those who meet the similar question in this forum.

 

Thanks again for your contribution.

Thank you, that certainly seems to have worked. Now I just have to apply that a whole bunch of times, but at least it gives me a way to do this without having to rebuild with alternatives such as the new card visual as an alternative.
