Mobile Dashboard table columns showing field names when expanded

When a table in a mobile dashboard is expanded, columns that were renamed in the report are displayed in their original forms (the field names in the model).  This only happens in the mobile dashboard but works fine in the web dashboard.

Hi @ckphua,

 

Would you please clarify the "When a table in a mobile dashboard is expanded" and "This only happens in the mobile dashboard but works fine in the web dashboard."? 

 

Based on my test, if we rename the column, republish the report to Power BI service, the original dashboard tile won't display the new column name whether in dashboard phone view or web view, also has the same result in Power BI mobile app. We need to pin the table visual to dashboard again, then the new column name displays. 

 

In your scenario, please share detail steps for us to reproduce the issue. 

 

Best Regards,

To reproduce:

 

1. Rename the table column and republish the report to Power BI Service

2. Pin the table to dashboard

3. Create a mobile view for the dashboard

4. On Power BI mobile app (tested with Android phone), the dashboard will display the new column name (this is correct and expected behaviour).

5. Click on the table tile in the dashboard to expand it, the column will display the original name.

Hi @ckphua,

 

The same issue has been reported before internally: CRI 60469018. Please see below information: 

 

Known issue, Dashboard tiles are lacking certain VisualContainer information that the Report Visuals have, and that we use for Dashboard-InFocus mode. We have work items to fix this but the work is not small and will take awhile. There are some other bugs in this area and we've been working on it... no concrete ETA.

 

Best Regards,
