How to rename a dataset using the powerbi rest api's? Is this even possible?

I need the ability to rename a dataset using the powerbi rest api's. I realize you can rename a dataset manually thru the web interface (app.powerbi.com), but I am not seeing this functionality thru the api. The powerbi rest api has no patch or update command for this. I am referencing the documents at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets 


Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks.

Currently it's not possible.  I've wanted this ability for awhile as well.  The work around I use for renaming reports is to clone to a new name and delete the old.  But there's no way to get a dataset renamed.  I've added an idea, please vote.
