Enable to pass variables from pipelines as parameters into a Dataflow Gen2

[#1]

Enable to modify the mashup document of a Dataflow Gen2 by passing a variable from a pipeline before an execution of the Dataflow

Is this planned for Q1 2025?

Highly wanted feature. Please make this possible

[Fabriculous]

This seems to have disappeared from the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/release-plan/data-factory page as of 03/19/2025. Was really hoping to see this delivered, as it will vastly simplify some of our pipelines.

Would be n1 to hear what the reason is, for this item to disappear from the release plan. I wait for this feature to be released since start of Q4. It's not an option for me to copy over the same Dataflows because only a fresh parameter is different. W/o this, fabric data factory will not be a complete/full alternative to ADF.

Q2 2025 is expected public preview date according to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/release-plan/data-factory#dataflow-gen2-parameterization

This was reently released as a public preview. Be sure to learn more about this new experience from the documentation article:

Marked as completed, but after a still it does not work. CI/CD dataflow or not there is no chance to get it working. Was it tested at all? Any fix ambition?

@DoesItMatter hi ! Would you mind sharing what's not working? The article shared in the status update has more information and even referenced a full blown tutorial on how it works 

[DoesItMatter]

Hi, Here are the steps I followed and could not get it working:

1. Create a dataflow gen2
2. Enable parameters expose in the dataflow
3. Define a new parameter in the dataflow (I tried various data types, text, decimal, any)
4. Save and close the dataflow
5. Create a pipeline
6. Define parameters in the pipeline (also defined variables as an alternative)
7. Add the dataflow to the pipeline
8. Set the dataflow parameters dynamically from the pipeline parameters (also tried with pipeline variables and variable library in Fabric)
9. Save and close the pipeline
10. Reopen the pipeline
11. BOOM! dynamically set dataflow parameters in the pipeline aregone, default dataflow parameter values are shown.

Various options did not work: CI/CD devops enabled workspace, Fabric library item variables, pipeline parameters, pipeline variables, Pipeline Set Variable activity No way to pass pipeline parameters/variables to the dataflow parameters.
