New URL parameter: "&experience=power-bi"

[mora11]

Hello, 

Do you know what actually does new add-in in app URL, which is "&experience=power-bi"?

In every report URL it appears at the end but for some reason for my paginated reports when I am passing some parameters it appears somewhere in a middle of the URL.

How to get rid of it?

Thanks

hi mora11, is the additional parameter causing an issue? You currently cannot remove it as it is system generated. Team can look into alternatives if this additional parameter is causing an issue. Thanks.

I managed to create workaround for my issue actually, but does it mean that additional parameter shorten amount of information that can be passed via URL? Previously it was 2000 characters, so now it is less because of "&experience=power-bi"?

Do not have that character limit with the modern browsers, please check - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/812925/what-is-the-maximum-possible-length-of-a-query-string

That's not true in terms of Power BI. I've just generated 3732 character long url and it did not pass any parameter value to the next page. Browser can handle more than 2000 characters but not Power BI while passing parameters values.

Hi. It's too soon to tell. For now you can't remove it. Microsoft is still launching many new stuff and services at MS Build. There are big changes regarding data platform like the new Fabric. That's why there is a new parameter, there might be a new tool that will own all data services and the parameter might show which service you are opening.

I hope that helps,
