Power BI Report Description - 120 Character Limit?
Hi nkwas
Yes you are right that 120-character cap is a known limitation in the Power BI Service UI. Even though the underlying semantic model does store up to 250 characters, the Service only shows or lets you edit up to 120 characters directly in the browser.
If you're using deployment pipelines or external tools (like Tabular Editor), longer descriptions can still be pushed in and saved they just won’t be fully visible/editable in the Service.
Not ideal for documentation, I agree. Hopefully Microsoft extends the visible limit at some point might be worth raising or upvoting the idea on the Fabric Ideas portal if it's not exist.
