Any workaround to allow downloading PBIX on Template Apps?

[OneWithQuestion]

MSFT apparently changed how the template apps work and you can no longer edit them and go to download the PBIX file (as stated here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/costs/analyze-cost-data-azure-cost-ma...


Is there
1. Anyway to open the data source in the query editor in the service?  I need to split some columns

2. Anyway to download the template apps anyway or does MSFT publish the PBIX files of their own template apps somewhere?

Hi @OneWithQuestion 

The way template apps work is that the publisher decides whether to enable download of the pbix. You can always edit a template app report or build new reports over the dataset.  You should contact Azure cost team if they can share.

Hi @OneWithQuestion 

As far as I know this is by design when using a template app because it allows the author to retain their intellectual property.
