Transform to a Graph Dataset in neo4j workspace in fabric is greyed out

[epelton]

After adding a lakehouse to a Graph Dataset using a neo4j workload, the Transform to a Graph Dataset is greyed out.

I've checked the requirements here and the only one I'm not sure on is Generative AI assistance enabled, which I haven't been able to find more info on. 
Workload for Microsoft Fabric - Neo4j Aura

• Public end point for Microsoft Fabric.

• Microsoft Fabric Capacity, or Free Trial.

• An AuraDB Professional instance or Free Trial.

• Single Sign-On login with EntraID (see Microsoft Entra ID SSO for more information).

• Tool authentication enabled for the database.

• Generative AI assistance enabled.

Hi @epelton,

Thank you for reporting the issue.

The “Transform to a Graph Dataset” option being greyed out in the Neo4j workspace within Microsoft Fabric usually indicates that one or more prerequisites are not fully met. Based on your description, the most likely reason is that “Generative AI assistance” is not enabled in your Neo4j AuraDB instance.

To resolve this, please follow these steps:

1. Log into your Neo4j AuraDB Professional (or trial) instance.
2. Navigate to the Settings section of your database.
3. Ensure that “Generative AI assistance” is turned ON. This setting is mandatory to enable the graph model transformation feature.

Additionally, please ensure the following requirements are in place:

• You are working within a Microsoft Fabric Capacity workspace (or Free Trial).
• The Neo4j workload is enabled in the workspace.
• You are using Microsoft Entra ID (SSO) for authentication.
• Tool authentication is enabled in your AuraDB database.
• You’ve selected a valid Lakehouse with at least one table for transformation.

Once Generative AI assistance is enabled and all conditions are met, the “Transform to a Graph Dataset” button should become active.
