The custom connector itself may not be the culprit.  How are you handing the parameters over to the connector?

    Thank you for your suggestion. Here is how I'm currently handling parameters for the custom connector:

    When I open the connector, I insert the URL to my data source without any endpoint.

     

    Next, I insert a token that I generate from my data source.

     

    Once connected, I can choose from different tables.

    If I load a table and add some columns to a report, then publish the report and go to the PBI service, I encounter the issue mentioned in my original post.


    Please let me know if you need any additional information.


    Thanks!

      You need to get that token in code, not via the UI.

        I spoke with the developer of the custom connector, and it seems that putting the token in the URL is not possible. Is this required to get it to work?
