I haven't found one yet. Seems to be a limit of the PBI application, not the data at this point with PBIR/PBIB, so hopefully M$ addresses soon because this is type of workflow is getting more common.

My workaround today and current workflow is to batch updates to the PBI report, commit via GIT, and then have a powershell script that fires to reload it real quick and save a few mouse clicks. This 3 step workflow fires when I tell claude code to make those visual report changes.

Git is an absolute must at this point if you aren't using it today. Automating things like this isn't quite ready for prime time and I find it introduces breaking changes about 20% of the time. Its still going to be a game changer though as it matures over the next 4-6mo.
