    Thanks for link for raising a ticket.  I did so and this was identified as a bug in my service environment and scheduled for update to resolve.

Can't speak about government clouds but if they are anything like Premium capacity then you need to also update the app after a substantial meta data change in your report. Otherwise the meta data on the workspace and on the report are out of sync.

Thanks, but this is just talking of directly viewing the report in the workspace, we do not have an app published.   I am pretty sure this issue is occuring both in premium capacity workspace and shared workspace.

    I assume you have done all the "hard cache reset"  stuff, F12 etc?

      Yes - I even switched from Edge to Chrome and Chrome had never seen the report before and it showed the old version.   Please note I posted in another reply today that I was able to work around this issue by switching to 'DirectQuery for PBI datasets' preview feature on in the PBI Desktop and creating a blank local model.   In that setup it seems to overwrite report as desired.  I would like to have it work in Live Connection mode though in case we need features only available there.   Since there are so few (no) reports of this happening I am wondering if its a new bug or an issue between PBI Desktop version and Government cloud service that may lag behind the commercial cloud service in feature releases.

        sure sounds like it. We had lots of wobbles in the service in the recent days, affecting dataflows, gateways, and dataset refreshes.  I would not be surprised if one of their frequent reconfigurations will be identified as the culprit.
