Model refresh activity forgets model (dataId can not be empty)
Hi NotebookEnjoyer ,
Thank you for reaching out to us!
The error "dataId value cannot be null or empty" when running the pipeline is a natural consequence of this, since the model selection isn’t being retained. While this issue is not currently listed in the Microsoft Fabric Known Issues, please follow the workaround to help you move forward:- After reopening the pipeline, reselect the model in the Semantic Model Refresh Activity, save it again, and run it without closing the pipeline. This may ensure the dataId is included for that session.
A similar issue has been discussed here and might provide more insights:

If this helps,consoder accepting it as solution.

Dynamic Content Error – datasetId value should be in a valid GUID format.
I identified the issue: when I pass dynamic content for the semantic model name using Lookup and ForEach, the input for the semantic model activity appears as follows:
json
{ "method": "post", "waitOnCompletion": true, "commitMode": "Transactional", "operationType": "SemanticModelRefresh", "groupId": "7eaf3bc1-1d0c-43d9-bcbf-13b1195cb9a5", "datasetId": "sm_sales_reporting" }
However, when I pass a single model name as a hardcoded value, the datasetId is a valid GUID:
json
{ "method": "post", "waitOnCompletion": true, "commitMode": "Transactional", "operationType": "SemanticModelRefresh", "groupId": "7eaf3bc1-2d0c-43d9-bcbf-12b1195cb9a5", "datasetId": "06ef7ab3-2b0d-4ef7-8772-2a94ed817a2e" }
So, the error occurs because the dynamic content is providing the semantic model name instead of its GUID (which is required for datasetId). You'll need to ensure the GUID of the semantic model is retrieved and passed dynamically, not the name.
