Fix a bug in dataflows: Using a parameter to reference a linked entity dataflow and/or workspace

Hi there, I've discovered a bug when using parameters to reference a dataflow and/or workspace in linked entities. It appears that when when I create a parameter to dynamically reference a dataflow and/or workspace in a downstream linked entity such as a 2nd dataflow, Power BI does to recognise that it belongs to the dynamically referenced workspace and/or dataflow. Please see here for screenshots: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/Bug-in-dataflows-Using-a-parameter-to-reference-a-linked-entity/idi-p/1657495#M64265 It would help when we want to deploy dataflows through deployment stages by importing the JSON and not have to manually change the references each time.  Cheers!

  • For me this is a bug, not an idea -- if the lineage view cannot identify the source of an entity, it should show this clearly (maybe with a "question mark" source) instead of just ignoring it.
