Change name of bookmark button without changing the title

Hi,

In a report i have several different button with the same title visible for the user. This is because based on where they are in the report the same button (from their perspective) should lead them to different bookmarks.

Now, I would like to be able to name them differently in the Bookmark view in Pbi Service, so that I can see which button is which when I work on the report. But, whenever I change the name of the button, the title visible for the user changes too.

Is there any way to be able to change the title visible for the user without changing the name of the button (or vice versa)

best regards
Jonas

Hi @SchoolDataGuy ,

In Power BI, the titles of the buttons visible to the user are directly linked to the button's name, this is by design. However, you can try to use the ‘tooltip’ feature to achieve your goal in another way. You can follow the steps below:

1. Select the button to which you want to add a descriptive tooltip.

When your mouse hovers over the button, a description of the button is displayed.

Final output:

I hope this solution meets your needs.
