Cause
During publishing the data source sync will prioritize the published data source properties of any shared fields over the workbook properties. Therefore, permanent changes to a published data source field can only be committed by localizing a copy of the field to the workbook (ie create a workbook-only field which does not sync with the published data source) or editing and republishing the data source itself (so that the desired properties are part of the data source).Additional Information
