API Dataflows - Update Dataflow

[Charline_74]

Hello, 

I am trying to set up this API:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/dataflows/update-dataflow

In order to change the name of a dataflow.

My code: 

$body=@{
    updateDetails=@(
        @{
            name = "DTF TEST Pipeline 1.0.1"
        }
    )
}
Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/4c2d4aa2-c195-4ecf-804a-be2afff547c6/dataflows/2ed4a772-827d-4d3b-87aa-6c0be92fc79f" -Method Patch -Body $body

But I have this error:

Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod : Une ou plusieurs erreurs se sont produites.

      "target": "dataflowUpdateInformation"
    }
  ]
}

    }
  ]
},Microsoft.PowerBI.Commands.Profile.InvokePowerBIRestMethod

Can you help me?

Thanks

HI @Charline_74,

According to the error message, it seems your request body part include unexpected characters, so these quests failed to be verified on sever side.
