Df gen2 Save Changes deficiency
answering further on this smpa01
Dataflow Gen2 with CI/CD has a behavior that matches your expectation. When you exit without clicking the "save" button, you are prompted with a new dialog to "Discard", "Save" or "Cancel". Screenshot of this dialog below:
Answering the question around REST API support, Dataflow Gen2 with CI/CD support now has endpoints through the Fabric REST API. You can use either the Dataflow endpoints:
Items - REST API (Dataflow) | Microsoft Learn
Or use the Fabric core endpoints:
Items - REST API (Core) | Microsoft Learn
As mentioned before, Dataflow Gen2 doesn't have REST API support. Power BI Dataflows (also known as Gen1 Dataflows) do have REST API support and its generally available.
Adding to the experience, Dataflow Gen2 with CI/CD support also has Multitasking support so you could have multiple Dataflows open at the same time if needed
We plan to go GA with Dataflow Gen2 with CI/CD support really soon, so I'd encourage you to perform any comparisons against Dataflow Gen2 with CI/CD support.
Hi smpa01 ,
I understand the frustration when things don't work as expected. Thank you for your patience and for providing such detailed information, which truly helps the community understand the challenge better. The platform is continuously evolving, and the team is aware of this gap. With ongoing feedback, we hope to see improved support for service principals and more comprehensive CI/CD integration soon.
From what I’ve seen and based on the miguel response earlier, it appears that SPN authentication is not currently supported in Web activities within Fabric pipelines. Additionally, Dataflow Gen2 (CI/CD) support in pipelines is still in preview and is not yet fully integrated as a pipeline activity.
Thank you miguel , for your valuable information.
Regards,
Yugandhar.
