Data types keep reverting to general and field names on visuals keeps reverting to the name in table

Hi,

 

Is anyone experiencing an issue where the names and types revert to default names and types after refreshing their reports? For example, if a metric is a percentage or currency, it reverts to numbers. If the metric name is XYZ in table and I change it to X YZ on the visual, sometimes the name automatically loses the space and becomes XYZ.

 

I change the data types on the desktop version using the Column Tools section and names on the Visualization pane

Is your report a thin report built off a semantic model or is the model included in the report?  Is the model a Fabric/Lakehouse semantic model or a traditional PBI semantic model? 

I bring tables/ views from Lakehouse to Power BI desktop and then publish it. The semantic model is in PBI but it uses Lakehouse data
