    Hi paulenomial , KajaMohamed  -

    Apologies for the issue you are facing.

    I got a confirmation from the internal team, that it is identified as a bug.

    We have a workaround for you.

    Steps for Save As Mitigation via Edit JSON:

    1. If pipeline is open and has pending changes to save but Save As is hanging, navigate to 'View' tab.

     

    2. Click 'View JSON Code' to open pipeline JSON. Find "properties" field of original pipeline and copy JSON "properties" field. Paste somewhere temporarily in a file editor.



    3. Find browser's URL bar, scroll to end of URL, and append '&feature.enableJsonEdit=true' at the end. Click enter or manually refresh browser.

     

    4. Navigate to your workspace view where you wish to save this pipeline, click '+ New' then click 'Data pipeline'.

     

    5. Name your pipeline and click 'Create'

     

    6. Navigate to 'View', click 'Edit JSON Code'. Replace "properties" field of new pipeline with original pipeline. Click 'OK'




    Please follow above steps untill the issue gets fixed, so that you can save a copy till time being. Please let me know incase of further queries.

    Sorry for the inconvience, Team is working closely on this issue inorder to fix it.

Two points of additional detail:

 

Once you add '&feature.enableJsonEdit=true' to the end of the current URL, it stays attached to future URLs you visit, like you've enabled your entire Fabric session to allow JSON editing. I don't know yet if it's permanent until you proactively remove it (not enough testing yet on my part).

 

If you continue to follow the solution directions, you need to perform an edit to your pipeline after pasting in the JSON code. I discovered that simply pasting in the JSON code did not enable the save button. It was only after making an edit of some kind that the save button was enabled, and I was then able to save the pipeline.

 

All in all, this is a easy workaround.
