There is currently no way to rename a dataset or report via the REST API.
A very needed feature. Have a customer who needs to enforce a naming convention on reports created through their embedded instance. Seems like an easy enough ask, but the only way we can currently do it is following the steps below. Ideally, it would be great if Workspace Admins could set a naming convention for all new reports in that workspace or if we can pass a naming convention through the create report feature in the embedded instance itself, but even having one API to rename instead of needing to clone and delete would help a lot.
The only way to enforce a naming standard would be to run a process using the Power BI REST APIs that can do the following:
- Identify the bad reports
- Clone them with a corrected name
- Delete the original report with the faulty name
