Hi All
I noticed that if I update Power BI Dataset parameter via API, it loses data source credentials, so I have to go to Power BI service and manualy update those credentials
Any idea how to sort it?
Thanks
You can even use REST API to update the credentails :
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/gateways/update-datasource
Thats for Gateways, which we dont use
Hi @kroman ,
I think you may try to update datasource for datasets.
For reference:
Datasets - Update Datasources - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn
Datasets - Update Datasources In Group - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn
