We already have gateways setup which is what the desktop connection string should be matching when published.
IF im using a sql server connection example SQL-test123-ao.ad.company.com then the connection string in desktop stays the same.
But when i publish (ONLY WHEN NETWORK) does it change the string.
\\Network drive\powerbi\file
changes to
\\\\network drive\\powerbi\\file
which duplicates all the "\"
I see in yours that it has 4 2 2 as well. is that just going to be the result when using a network is additional "\" ?
Hi trentchecketts1,
I can reproduce the issue and have reported it internally. Let's be patient.
And in addition, does this affect your normal use? Any screenshots without sensitive information?

this affects our users, managing everyone that publishes reports and explaining to them that the gateway being setup with "\\\\"network"\\location\\file\\file" is not how they need to put the connection string. currently if a new gateway is added they go an copy paste the string so that it connects right but is not the case for this.
In the interim we have sent our the correct string with less "\" but its counter to all other uses when we tell them to use the exact connection string that the gateway is setup for.
