The Power Apps visual in Power BI is a great addition.

At the moment however, the visual is associated with a Power Apps environment when created.

This cannot be changed without re-installing the visual and saving a new .pbit or .pbix file

Not being able to manage a single dashboard, with different Dev, Test, UAT and Production environments is counter to the ALM and CI/CD approaches outlined by Microsoft across other products.

Please allow us to maintain a single .pbit file, and modify connections to Power Apps environments as the file is migrated between different environments.

We are planning the ability to configure an environment in Power BI deployment pipeline stage.
once configured, all PA visuals will connect to that environment, which will allow to connect ALM concepts of Power BI and PowerApps.

Totally - have also encountered issues where a dev doesn't notice unwanted summarisations being added to fields on the visual when recreating, causing issues when those values are passed to the PowerApp and subsequent PowerFlow
