Hii yanain9
Microsoft has officially stopped offering Dataflow Gen1 as a creation option only existing Gen1 dataflows can still run. All new dataflows must be created as Dataflow Gen2, which is part of Fabric.Even if you are not using Fabric capacity, you can still create Gen2 dataflows in a Pro workspace, but you cannot create new Gen1 dataflows anymore. This change is by design and not a tenant setting.
The explanation is not true all the time, yet. It's premature. For example in our environment, we can still create Gen1 dataflows.
But your administrator may have changed a setting, and if you can use Gen2, it's a good idea that will be required soon anyway.
