The issue of the Esri Map visual in Power BI is not saving settings has resurfaced (Solved: Power BI Visual looses all settings - Esri Community). Any changes I make to a visual are lost when I go to another tab and return to the original tab. This is affecting layers (both those removed and added), and symbology - changing the visual to show a "Heat map" instead of "Types (Unique symbols)". This is affecting a pbix file I was working on yesterday (and it retained changes then), but is not working today following a recent background update to the visual. Other PowerBI visuals do not appear to be affected. N.B. I cannot share the pbix as it contains private data.
I have tried clearing the PowerBI cache, and reinstalling PowerBI (Version: 2.117.984.0 64-bit (May 2023)). These steps have not solved the issue.
Edit: this visual version is 2023.2.185. The about information pane includes this text, "The latest version 2023.2.187.0 of this visual is being deployed and will be available within 10 days of the release date in AppSource. Until then version 2023.2.185 is running."
