Now onedrive/sharepoint refresh, identify the pbix file by File ID instead of File Name. It really causes a lot of issues. When people incorrectly update the file, the file ID lost quietly and intentionally!!! Then all the connection of the reports have to redo...that's really rediculous!
This solution is more of a non-technical or user-friendly way, but using a invisible identifier - file ID to identify the file. In the Onedrive/sharepoint, of course file names are not able to duplicate, so naturally it should and it's also available to identify by file name.
Besides, the break of the connection can't be found until developer realise the new function doesn't work, because the model is still able to update data.
