Create Dataflow Gen 2 without Data destination to test - unable to add Data destination later
Hey!
The data destination logic is set up as an extra (last) step to a query of your choosing. Make sure that you select the query of your choice and then you should be able to see the "output destination" button in the ribbon, the diagram view or even in the applied steps section available to you.
If you are not able to see it, could you please share a screenshot of what you see? Just make sure that you select a query first.
I think it is not neccessary. The issue I described is the same as an orginal author reported here.
Does not matter if you publish a Dataflow without destination immediatelly, or you want to change a Dataflow later.. you do not have an option to add a destination again.
The only way is to create a new Dataflow again as 009co mentioned.
So the difference only is. I use the base template to do so and not creating a new Dataflow from the ground again and again.
I only added more information, screenshots and error messages you asked for earlier.
the symptom might be the same, but the root cause might be different.
We are aware of an issue where if you try to go through the "Edit" path inside of the lineage view, you get taken to the dataflows Gen1 experience which would explain why your screenshot showcases the "AI Insights" button.
I am unable to repro your scenario from within the Workspace list view. Even if I create a new dataflow gen2 using a template, I am unable to get the same screenshot that you have unless its a Gen1 scenario.
Let's start a new thread so we can dig deeper into your specific scenario and we can work towards a solution.
This is a known issue. Here's more information about it Known issue - Lineage view edit dataflow button - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn
Thanks miguel
yea I can confirm.
The issue is connected to lineage view (which was the default in our workspace).
List view edit link works well. Thanks.
