Database Parameter input for data source not working in PBID Post Feb 2020

I parameterize both connection and database strings in all development. After updating to March and now April, the Connection input will correctly accept a parameter, however, the database input populates with the name of the parameter instead of the value of the parameter. 

 

Example:

Parameter Name: Connection String // Parameter Value: sample.database.windows.net

Parameter Name: Database // Parameter Value: sampledatabase

 

Expected output in PBI data source settings for connecting: sample.database.windows.net;sampledatabase

Actual output: sample.database.windows.net;Database

 

Connection fails on authentication because database does not exist.
