Join layer interactivity only working with tool open

[AnneTetley]

Hi,

When using a join layer in ArcGIS for Power BI, do you always have to have the join layer tool open to see any interactivity between the map and other items in the dashboard?  I was expecting to configure the join then close the tool and still be able to see the map and tables / charts working together but that doesn't see to be the case, it just stops working and you get the layer pop up for the join layer instead (with no attribution from the table data).  You also don't appear to be able to symbolise the join layer with data from the joined table?  

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Anne

This is expected behavior. See this comment by @AnthonyLatini: Solved: Re: ArcGIS Maps for Power Bi join feature not work... - Esri Community.

There is an idea about this as well Join layer on Power BI applicable when menu not op... - Esri Community.

Sorry.  This is NOT a solution. The links may provide some explanation of why a real solution is challenging, but  I can think of several ways that a real solution may be attempted (For one, ESRI programmers should be able to cause the correct selection environment to open when user selects the "Interact with Power BI Visuals" checkbox when an ArcGIS layer is selected)
