Error message "RequestValidationFailed" when attempting to modify a copy job by the owner
- 9 months ago
Hi SimoneZier ,
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.
Thank you tayloramy for the prompt response.
This is an issue with Fabric Copy Jobs: even after you “Take Over” a job, the system still keeps the original creator tied to the job internally. Because of that, certain changes-like switching from append to overwrite-can only be made by the person who originally created the job.
That’s why your new jobs (where you are the creator) work, but taken-over jobs fail with RequestValidationFailed.
The only reliable workaround today is to recreate the copy job under your own account. Microsoft is aware of this limitation and a fix is expected in a future update.
I received the same error when changing a pipeline from a lakehouse to a warehouse connection in the the Lookup activity. The query in the activity runs successfully when reviewing the data, though it fails during saving. I compared the two versions side by side and I don't see any meaningful differences between the two versions. It just doesn't make sense?!
The way it looks, the dependency check seems to be done outside of pipeline's definition.
For troubleshooting purposes I took only the minimum of code and still doesn't work. Same result when I started from scratch with the warehouse.
