Legacy Synapse 'Serverless' Views not showing up as source tables in 'Copy Activity?

I am trying to do a simple test of moving data currently in a 'serverless' Synapse View to a LakeHouse.  No source views show up to choose from.  Is this a bug?

I believe the copy activity only supports tables, which I believe is the case currently in synapse as well (although happy to be proved wrong on that, been a while since I've used the copy tool).

 

You could choose "Use Query" instead and do a SELECT * FROM view_name.

Using explicit query did work.
