Ok so if I undestand correctly
I have to use the API to get the .pq files coded in Base64, then I have to Decode it, update it with the parameter I want to use and after that, I use the API to update my new flow

 

Is it right? 
Not possible to do the same in file explorer even if I edited the Mashup File AND the DataflowEditingSession ?

Hello Cookistador,

As per my knowledge, the only supported options today for changing the destination are the REST API and Git-connected workspaces. If this capability is important for your business users, We recommend submitting it to the Microsoft Fabric Ideas forum. This helps the product team track demand for improving Dataflow Gen2 authoring and making destination updates easier without relying on the API.
