This update fixes issue #407, #426, #509 and improves the way Tabular Editor detects remote changes to the model.
Major improvements since 2.10.0:
- Ability to delete custom actions from within the UI (thanks @albertospelta)
- Major improvements to ExportProperties / ImportProperties (thanks @albertospelta). How would you like to edit object translations, perspective membership, etc. in an Excel sheet?
- Preparations for the upcoming Power BI Desktop "External Tools" integration. For example, there's a new setting under File > Preferences, which will cause Tabular Editor to automatically detect changes made to a Power BI Desktop model from inside Desktop, refreshing the TOM tree in Tabular Editor. The setting is enabled by default, but since this feature is using Analysis Services Tracing, you can disable it if it's causing any kind of issues.
- Database Compatibility Level can now be modified from inside the UI, making it possible to upgrade models from 1200->1400, 1400->1500 and 1500->1520. Please note that you cannot upgrade a model using the Deployment Wizard. Instead, open the model from an existing database, change the compatibility level, and hit save.
Minor improvements since 2.10.0:
- Table and Column objects now display a dropdown on their DataCategory property (see #498). The dropdown is populated with values according to the MS-SSAS-T specification.
- Now targeting AMO 19.4.0.2
- Added support for the
AlternateOfcolumn property (used when setting up aggregations on a Power BI model). More information. - #407 - you can now copy BPA results to the clipboard
- #426 - dependency view now defaults to relationships when opening it on a table
Bug fixes since 2.10.0:
- #485 Calculated tables should no longer cause issues on DirectQuery models.
- #486 Fixed issue with PBI warning message showing up incorrectly
- #488 Calculation Items are now included when using the filter box
- #491 An error message is now shown if a LINQ-style filter is malformed

- Fixed path of Tabular Editor executable in the .pbitool.json file, in case Tabular Editor is installed in a non-default location.
- Issue #504
- Fixed an unhandled exception when invoking the BPA rule manager through the Tools menu.
- When connected to a model on a local AS instance with trace enabled, external changes to other models on the same instance will no longer trigger an update.
- Issue #507
- Issue #509
- An external model refresh now triggers an update in Tabular Editor similar to external model changes (local AS instance only)
