    Hi Cesar,

    That param is looking for the Object ID, not the text name.

    Is there a function to lookup the object ID that you can replace your @variables function with?

    If you want to test this, export a Dataflow as .json, the Dataflow ID is the second parameter in the metadata (header)

    then pass this ID as the parameter.

    If you can find a function to look this up dynamically. I can see code in the forum but it's a bit untidy.

Hi everybody,

I understand that using Object ID the problem get solved.

But if you are developing a metadata-driven pipeline, this is not the best solution. Anyhow, getting the Object ID from browser URL or from exported JSON is not very practical. Also, if you remove and recreate the dataflow, you have to get the new Object ID and update it in your metadata.

 

The possibility of using Object Name in dynamic content would be a helpful feature.
