Steps Automatically Added

Hi! I am running into a very annoying issue in app.powerbi / Power BI Service. I copy over my steps from desktop into Power BI service but then it adds in steps that it thinks are errors. They also reappear after removing them. How can I get this to stop?? I appreciate any help or links that may be helpful!

Hi. There are some steps that power bi will try to add automatically like "Change Type" to help the user controlling data. You can just remove them as the LAST thing you do before saving or close & apply.
I think you can copy the whole table to avoid this. Like the video at that minute:

Hope that helps,

Thanks for the quick reply! I have removed the steps right before I close and save. But as soon as I open it again, it adds the steps I just removed. I've tried to look in settings and options but have no idea how to turn it off.
