Looker studio randomly doesn't save changes for some objects

I have an issue with the reports in Looker Studio which is when I change something in the report, Looker Studio saves it only for the current session, and revets is back to the previous value after page refresh.

A couple of examples:

  • when changing the date range to a new one, the new one is applied while I'm in edit mode and as soon as I refresh the page, the previous date range is the default one. The weird thing is that this bug doesn't happen always, but just sometimes whenever it feels like it.
  • when replacing an inserted image with a new one Looker Studio displays the new one, but when I refresh the page the old one is there. Similar to the date range bug, there is no pattern noticeable. Sometimes it works as expected, other times it reverts to the previous image.

That's strange! It might be worth reporting a bug: https://support.google.com/looker-studio/answer/13606940

I am having the same issue with removing a note on a dashboard in looker.

Having the same issue with hyperlinks. I can't add hyperlinks to any of the text fields. It adds it and then I click out of the box and it reverts back to just text without the hyperlink. I've cleared my caches/history, restarted everything, etc. Nothing seems to help. 

You may want to try to delete the tile and create a new one (or create a copy of a tile and delete the old one) - I got changes to stick

Having the same issue with date settings.

I'm actually seeing this at a different level. Updated formulas with new fields often revert back to the previous fields being used. I updated the formula a few months back, only recently discovered that 80+ reports are now using the wrong formula. 
Open to thoughts or suggestions. Many thanks.

I am having a recurring issue (like every other month) where the text I write in a text box will not be saved correctly. I have to copy it in the clipboard and then copy-paste again and again until it "sticks".

Also, there is a recurring error with coloring text. I select the color, it shows the change, and when clicking on some other object it reverts to the initial color.
