Data source loosing credentials after Dataset parameter updated via API

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 :

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
