Needs VotesAutomatically update App when new reports and dashboards are published to the workspace

Presently when you create an App from a Workspace and then publish a new version of one of the reports to the Workspace you have to update the App for the new report to be visible in the App. Apparently the App holds on to some cached version of the report.This was also the case in content packs which were the predecessor to Apps. We need an option in the App to have it automatically use the report from the Workspace versus whatever cached version it is presently using.

RE: Automatically update App when new reports and dashboards are published to the workspace
At a minimum the ability to do this via the Powershell commandlets would be helpful. Currently have a very basic script setup to handle publishing report revisions to the workspace. I don't mind so much that I need to manually make this visible to end users but would prefer to add this as a second step in my script instead of manually going to the workspace and clicking through the UI to update the user facing app.
RE: Automatically update App when new reports and dashboards are published to the workspace
We want to automate the deployment of Power BI content (pbip / pbix) from Git Source Control in Azure Devops to Power BI workspaces.Once successfully deployed we want to programmatically update the App in such the changed content is exposed via the App as well.Not having this capability requires a manual step by the PBI developers to update the App after each automated deployment which is quite cumbersome.Please deliver a Rest API which can be used to trigger the update of an App.For example: 'Update App'
RE: Automatically update App when new reports and dashboards are published to the workspace
Could be nice if this will be added, it is becoming quite annoying to publish and the go to workspace and update. Feels like to much manual work
RE: Automatically update App when new reports and dashboards are published to the workspace
Please vote as many of us need a way to "update the app" once the structure has changed.
RE: Automatically update App when new reports and dashboards are published to the workspace
Please make this either a simple REST API call or Powershell command! It makes enterprise deployment/rapid CI/CD cadence very difficult to achieve.
RE: Automatically update App when new reports and dashboards are published to the workspace
I am surprised that there are only 29 votes as this really will make publish a lot easier.
I make a lot of changes and it is irritating to update the app every time.
Are there to few users of the app i Power Bi perhaps?
RE: Automatically update App when new reports and dashboards are published to the workspace
I was surprised this wasn't already the case. I changed a font in my report, the report shows the new font, but the app does not. It took me a very long time to find this thread to see that it is simply just not implemented. It makes sense to me that if the report is changed in any way, the app would reflect that. Please fix!
RE: Automatically update App when new reports and dashboards are published to the workspace
Agreed!
Updating the app every time a report is updated for some minor issue introduces an additional step and the potential for human error.
There should be the option to automatically update the app, regardless of what changes have been made to a report within it.
RE: Automatically update App when new reports and dashboards are published to the workspace
Yes! We really need this. Because of the fact we are working with TEST Workspaces, there is no need to 'stage' datamodels within the workspace and updating every single time the App Workspace.
