Question about Dataflow Gen2 runtime remapping across multiple tables

In Microsoft Fabric Dataflow Gen2, is it supported to use a single parameterized Dataflow for fully metadata-driven Bronze ingestion across multiple tables with different schemas?

Scenario:

  • Pipeline passes runtime parameters:

    • p_source_schema

    • p_source_table

    • p_dest_schema

    • p_dest_table

  • Dataflow source navigation is dynamic using parameters

  • Destination uses dynamic schema and automatic settings

  • Goal is:

    • same DF2 reused for customers/orders/products/etc.

    • automatic runtime column mapping

    • all columns converted dynamically to string/text

Problem:

  • The Dataflow still appears to retain metadata/mapping from the first previewed table (customers)

  • Runtime refresh either:

    • creates the wrong destination table

    • or fails with generic EntityUserFailure / Mashup errors

Question:
Does DF2 truly support runtime automatic remapping for different table schemas inside a single reusable Dataflow, or is the recommended architecture:

  • one DF2 per table

  • or Notebook/Spark for metadata-driven Bronze ingestion?

Hello @Johanny_O Dataflow Gen2 allows parameterisation, enabling you to execute the same process with different values each time within a pipeline. Please refer to the Microsoft documentation for details on how this works.
