Support Dynamic Connection Switching in Copy Activity (like ADF Dynamic Linked Services)
Idea:
In Fabric Pipelines, the Copy activity source currently statically bound to specific connections created at the workspace level (e.g., a Salesforce connection named DEV_SALESFORCE).
When deploying the same pipeline from DEV to QA, UAT, or PROD, we must manually update the source and sink connections to match the appropriate environment. This process is error-prone, time-consuming, and not suitable for CI/CD automation.
In Azure Data Factory, this issue is solved through dynamic linked services — where connection names and properties can be parameterized and changed at runtime.
Proposed Solution:
Allow dynamic connection binding in Fabric Pipelines, so that the Copy activity (and other relevant activities) can select the connection name based on a parameter or expression.
Benefits:
Enables seamless CI/CD and multi-environment deployments
Reduces manual changes and risk of errors across environments
Improves maintainability and scalability of Fabric pipelines
Aligns with existing ADF best practices for environment-specific configurations
This feature is essential for enterprise-grade deployment and automation workflows.
Thanks for considering this improvement!
