PowerBI tile - dashboard tiles not showing in list

I am building an app with an embedded BI tile, using the "Power BI tile" object.

After selecting the workspace (My Workspace), the dashboard (a newly created dashboard), the "Tile" field remains grayed out.

I have pinned two tiles to this dashboard.

I am able to insert tiles from other BI dashboards that were created some time ago.

Why am I not able to see these tiles?

Based on this thread: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Power-BI-dashboard-elements-not-showing-up-as-a-Tile-option-in/td-p/281745

I tried to specify new names for the dashboard tiles, but they still aren't appearing.

I have closed and re-opened the app several times, however the tiles still aren't showing.

In terms of security, there is no issue, the apps, reports and dashboards are all mine and created with my account, I have full access.

I searched a bit further and found the solution on this post:
https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Power-BI-Tiles-unable-to-find-tiles-in-dashboard/td-p/459384

Specifically, I signed out from PowerApps, closed the PowerApps tab I was working on, signed in again (without restarting browser), and the tiles were showing.

I've once again hit this issue, and the "fix" mentioned earlier did not work.

It seems to me that there is something at play here, I'm wondering if there is perhaps some internal polling service that refreshes the tile list?

EDIT: After bashing my head against the wall a bit more, I remembered the other tip from one of the other threads: you need to rename the tile after publishing it to the dashboard. Even if it already has a name, it seems PowerApps can only pick it up if it has been renamed.

Awesome! I was going nuts trying to figure out why this was not working. Renaming the tile fixed it. 🙏 Also sometimes it's hard to see the 3 little dots next to the tile.

For those who do not know how to rename the tile, like me, this is how.
First, a tile is 1 chart from your report. When you pin it to the dashboard is what makes it a tile.
Second, to rename your tile, so it shows up in Power Apps to select, you need to go to the dashboard in app.powerbi.com, and find the pinned tile. In the top right corner of the tile should be 3 small buttons when you hover over it. Clicking on it will give you these options:
To change the title, click on "Edit details" from this dropdown and you should see the following:

Changing the title here finally worked for me in getting it to show up in the Power App.
