The Looker 26.24 rollout for Looker (Google Cloud core) will be announced separately.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where custom tooltips in KPI visualizations didn't apply the visualization's Value Format and Comparison Value Format settings. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where custom tooltips in KPI visualizations didn't respect the configured left, center, or right alignment setting. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where the custom tooltip editor prevented the saving of and rejected comparison Liquid variables (comparison_value, comparison_rendered_value, comparison.value, and comparison.rendered) for KPI visualizations. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where expanding a long tile note on a KPI visualization could cause the note to overlap the KPI value, comparison, and sparkline. Long expanded notes now scroll within half of the tile.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where scheduled deliveries to Google Sheets created duplicate spreadsheets instead of overwriting existing spreadsheets when filenames contained spaces, and scheduled deliveries to Google Drive replaced spaces in filenames with underscores. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where scheduled deliveries could fail if the schedule owner had Development Mode enabled and lacked develop permission on the schedule's model. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where screen readers didn't announce the filter name or label for Yes/No filters and group filter controls on dashboards. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where switching a database connection from default credentials to OAuth authentication could retain stale configuration fields and cause connection failures. Connections that were switched to OAuth before this update must be re-saved once on the Admin > Connections page to clear stale persistent derived table (PDT) overrides.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where Databricks OAuth refresh tokens were treated as expired after seven days on the client side even when a longer token lifetime was configured in Databricks. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where creating a visual modeling canvas on a project-scoped connection failed unless advanced connection governance was enabled. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where updating roles for an Admin user who used the API could fail with an error. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where passing malformed dashboard filter attributes to the dashboard_filters API endpoints could cause an HTTP 500 error instead of returning an HTTP 422 Unprocessable Entity response. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where model set matching treated underscores in model names as wildcards, which could grant self-service access to connections that were linked to similarly named models. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where dashboard tag list filters and their drop-down menus resized horizontally when multiple values were selected. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where the GET /auth endpoint returned an HTTP 500 Internal Server Error instead of an HTTP 400 Bad Request response when the endpoint received a malformed redirect_uri parameter. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where the data upload file picker could fail to accept XLS files. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where sending a POST /api/token request without a Content-Type header resulted in an HTTP 500 error. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where multi-select filter drop-down menus could immediately reopen after being closed. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where Show Percent of Previous arrows and labels overlapped bars instead of appearing between them on column charts that use the Modern visualization theme, custom Group Spacing settings, or unevenly spaced dates. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

Time zone settings have been updated so that scheduled job triggers and table calculation time zone evaluations reflect recent regional daylight saving time (DST) changes.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where a non-admin user could delete another user's undeployed development project through the API. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where Sankey charts that were created with Chart Config Override could fail with errors such as requires exactly two dimensions or cyclical data is not supported. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where favoriting or unfavoriting a dashboard or Look updated its last-accessed timestamp and erroneously removed the item from the Unused Content list. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where screen readers didn't announce individual data points on charts with 200 or more data points per series. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where updating legacy Marketplace plugins could fail with a timeout error on instances with large Git repositories. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where switching Series Positioning from Stacked to Overlay or Grouped on an area, a column, or a bar chart didn't update the chart rendering. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where scheduled deliveries to Slack, Google Drive, Cloud Storage, Microsoft Azure, and Dropbox could deliver corrupted single-column dashboard PDF files and unformatted Workflow Agent HTML files. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

Roles in the identity provider (IdP) group role mapping drop-down menu are now sorted alphabetically and searchable on the SAML and OIDC configuration pages.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where hyperlink tooltips inside dashboard tile notes couldn't be clicked. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where numeric parameter filters without an allowed_values property were misclassified as tier filters in the dashboard filter editor, which exposed invalid operator options and cleared default values. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed in the System Activity Conversational Analytics dashboard where the Conversations by Type and Weekly Conversations tiles incorrectly counted workflow agent runs as dashboard conversations. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed where editing a Conversational Analytics agent could overwrite its Code Interpreter setting, fail to immediately update active conversations, or allow Code Interpreter to remain active when disabled at the instance level. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed in the System Activity Conversational Analytics dashboard where filtering by the Agent filter on the Engagement tab returned no results for agents on user-defined dashboards. This feature now performs as expected.

Fixed

In the System Activity Conversational Analytics dashboard, the Top Agents and Agents Not Used in Last 30 Days tiles on the Engagement tab now display the agent name alongside the Agent ID.

Fixed

An issue has been fixed in the System Activity Conversational Analytics dashboard where clicking a dashboard Agent ID on the Engagement tab linked to a nonexistent standalone agent page (returning an HTTP 404 error) instead of the parent dashboard. This feature now performs as expected.
