MIssing library variable in pipeline error
Hi MilanPit
The pipelines continued to operate for several months because their configuration referenced the WorkspaceID library variable, and its absence from the Parameters library did not initially affect execution. Although this resulted in an inconsistent setup, the missing variable was not validated in a way that caused errors at first. However, when the service attempted to resolve the library variable during execution, it was unable to find WorkspaceID in the Parameters library, which led to a VariableNotFound error and highlighted the configuration issue. Removing the outdated WorkspaceID from the Library variables addresses the problem, as the pipeline will no longer search for a non-existent variable. Since Microsoft Fabric is a cloud service that receives ongoing backend updates, changes in validation or execution processes may sometimes expose previously unnoticed configuration problems.If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out and we'll be glad to assist.

Hello v-karpurapud
The issue was indeed resolved by simply removing the Library Variable 'WorkspaceID'. That wasn't really the point of my question though. We had the Library Variable 'WorkspaceID' for 3.5 months while it was obsolete as the WorkspaceID was imported from the DataFactory, and all pipelines worked perfectly. Seemingly out of nowhere, all pipelines failed, so my question was meant more to find the reason for the sudden change.
Thank you.
