Web data source URL does not update when published from PBI Desktop

How to reproduce the problem:

 

- Get data > Web

- URL: 

https://api.pipedrive.com/v1/deals?filter_id=29&start=0&limit=500&api_token=XXXXXXXX

- Publish from desktop to cloud

- Update URL "filter_id=29" => "filter_id=39"

 

Now I can publish again, create new data source, even create a new pbix file - URL stays the same in Power BI cloud which basically prevents me from sharing my work with other people, because Power BI data refresh does not work.

Did you edit the source URL in the Query Editor - Advanced Editor of original PBIX file, then save and publish to Power BI Service? So that the original one in Power BI Service will be replaced with the new one.

Based on my test, the URL will be updated as below. If I create a new pbix file with same name as the original one, after publish/replace, the URL will also be updated.

@v-haibl-msft - yes, I did edited URL in the Query Editor in the original PBIX file. I saved it and it works but the URL does not update in Power BI Service.

 

There is one thing I noticed though: Power BI Service dialog screenshot you pasted in your post shows whole URL. When I open the same dialog - it shows the URL with no parameters part...
