Refresh drill through pages automatically- Refresh problem

I have a report in Power BI that includes one main page and five hidden pages, which function as drill-through pages. However, when I refresh the report in the Power BI service and subsequently open it, the main page displays the correct data.
In contrast, if I perform a drill-through to one of the other pages, the data does not update unless I press 
Ctrl + F5.
Only after doing this does the page show the correct data.
Is there a way to resolve this issue?
Thanks

Hi @rickferreiran,

We sincerely appreciate your inquiry through the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

Kindly follow the steps mentioned below, which may help in resolving the issue:

  1. Verify that the data model is correctly set up and that the relationships between tables are properly defined. Incorrect relationships may lead to issues with data propagation in drill-through pages.
  2. Ensure that the drill-through pages are appropriately configured to accept filters from the main page. If filters are not correctly set, the data may not update as expected.
  3. Clear the browser cache or use an incognito/private browsing session to check if the issue persists.
  4. Test the report in Power BI Desktop to determine whether the issue persists. If the drill-through pages refresh correctly in Power BI Desktop, the issue might be specific to the Power BI service.

Additionally, please find the relevant reference links below:
