    Microsoft support has confirmed that this is a known issue for Fabric tenants hosted in Central US (Iowa).

     

     

     

    No ETA for a fix.

Anonymous I'm having this same issue and confirmed I'm in Central US too. Thanks for sharing that information. Hopefully it's resolved soon - I'm creating a mess of Dataflows in my workspaces.

 

I did find a workaround to open Dataflows that have been published, to at least continue editing them. If you create a Dataflow and publish it, you can then create a Pipeline and add a Dataflow activity. In the settings of the Dataflow activity you can choose your published Dataflow from the dropdown and the Open option should appear.

 

Still unable to delete them though.

    dbattistone Thanks for the tip! I was able to edit a Gen2 Dataflow this way and can confirm that is a good workaround.

     

    I am currently looking into deleting Gen2 Dataflows via the REST API. I will let you know what I find.
