How can I deploy Gen2 Dataflow without deployment pipeline?

[arpost]

Greetings, community. With Gen2 dataflows not being supported in deployment pipelines yet, I'm trying to figure out the best way to deploy them from workspace to workspace. Do I have to export each one as a template and import in the Test/Prod workspace? Or is there a better way?

Hi @arpost 
Thanks for using Fabric Community.
Yes, you’re correct. As of now, the best way to deploy Gen2 dataflows from one workspace to another is by exporting each one as a template and then importing it into the target workspace.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Appreciate the reply, @Anonymous. Do we have a timeline on when Gen2 dataflows will be supported in deployment pipelines? This is a substantial headache as this not only means every dataflow has to be exported/imported for each deployment, but you have to either update every query to bind it to objects in the matching stage (e.g., Dev should point to dev workspace artifacts, test to test, prod to prod) OR you have to parameterize every dataflow and query.
