Composite models fail to import to git integrated workspace

[tiger_user_12]

Power BI source control is failing to sync Power BI workspace with the main branch of the repository when trying to import a composite model. It also fails to sync when trying to import a report that has a live connection to a composite model in another workspace. The report fails to import with the following error:

Workload Error Code: Report_Import_FailedToImportReport

Workload Error Message: Report Workload failed to import the report with report id .....

Are composite models supported with git integration yet?

Hi, @tiger_user_12 

According to the official documentation, "Direct queries and composite models on Power BI datasets and Analysis Services are not supported at this time", and if a direct query is used when fetching data, it will not be supported by the Git integration.

Official documentation: Git integration process - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

There are several alternative ways to integrate Power BI with Git and automate release management:

1.Power BI Desktop Project: This feature, currently in preview, can be used to streamline the development process, source code management, and collaboration with Git repositories.

2.PowerShell and Power BI automation tools: You can use PowerShell or Power BI automation tools to automate the deployment process from the Azure DevOps release pipeline.
