Power Automate button in Power BI suddenly returns empty entity {}

Hi,
A Power Automate flow triggered by the “On Power BI button clicked” visual is no longer receiving parameters. The trigger now returns:
"body": { "entity": {} }

What I tried:
  • Recreated the Power Automate visual in Power BI Desktop.
  • Attached a new/existing flow from the visual.
  • Dragged columns (a date and a simple string) into the visual’s field well.
  • Tested in both Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service.
  • Verified connections and credentials.
Despite all this, the flow still receives { "entity": {} }. It was working fine until yesterday.
Is this a known regression? Any suggested workarounds?
Thank you!

    Known issue. You made the mistake of switching to the New Designer.  Switch back to the old designer and recreate your flow from scratch.

    After multiple attempts, the problem was fixed while I was working on the new interface. Root cause unclear - could have been my configuration changes or a temporary Microsoft service issue that coincided with my troubleshooting efforts.
