Hi,
I work at an IT company and I develop projects using Fabric and Power BI Premium Per User for our clients. When I build my data platform using Dataflows Gen1, I can export the dataflow to JSON and create an exact copy with just a couple of clicks. It would be extremely convenient to be able to export data platform solutions built with Datamarts in order to replicate them in other environments easily and quickly. This same functionality would be revolutionary if it were also made available in Fabric.
Since I have clients using Business Central and CRM built in Power Apps (Dataverse), my Data Platform projects in Fabric are often very similar.
I would love to be able to export the entire infrastructure I create (for example, a Medallion architecture with the three historical layers bronze-silver-gold, the associated notebooks, Dataflows Gen2, and pipelines that allow me to manage data end-to-end) and import it into a new client's environment, just like I can with Dataflows Gen1.
In short, it would be about managing the Fabric infrastructure as if it were a "Solution" in Dynamics Power Apps.
This would significantly speed up the time-to-market for solutions provided by service companies. I really hope this feature will be avaiable soon.
Thank you,
Luca Gozzoli

Could you share more details about your scenario? how did you create the Dataflow? how was the Default destination set? what Fabric item did you set as your default destination?
At the moment, Default destination set an automatic update method for each destination and each one relies on the capabilities of the destination:
