Measure Format String Issues?

[OlapOffice]

Is anyone experiencing any issues with Measure Format Strings. I noticed that all had disappeared from my project and went back to an historical version where the report showed the correct formatting but when opening through Tabular Editor the relevant format was not displayed. Is there a current known issue with Measure Format Strings through Tabular Editor? Currently on September 2021 Power BI Desktop.

@OlapOffice Can you check another file and see if the format string is intact or it is something specific to this file?

Not sure what do you mean by Measure Format Strings. Please elaborate.

Reference (both works fine in my test)

Use custom format strings in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

or

SELECTEDMEASUREFORMATSTRING function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Docs

They formats just disappeared on all measures for some reason. This is the image on the measure from Tabular Editor.

@OlapOffice I just opened a report that has calculation group and calculation items are using format string and it is intact, using Sep 2021 release.

Thanks for the reply. As pre the original post, the Measure Format String is not present in an historical file either although it formats as required. I had not resaved this file. The later file is subsequently resaved and the formatting string and report formats are gone.

After resetting all the measure strings the same thing has happened again. This is getting a little frustrating. Maybe other users of Tabular Editor have experienced the same thing?
