Thanks a lot, works as exepected.

You will have to create the url as a parameter first for it to be directly amended in the report in online version.

API key is for authentication and you can try avoiding it in the url and keep them as data source credentials which will work fine, if it's in the url then you will have to create url as a parameter so that you can update it directly.

Not really, cause for me only the URL is greyed out. Thanks

do you have permission to change it?  what is your role in the workplace?

[sateshkumar]

Thanks for your reply 🙂 I am the workspace owner. And i had published this report and dataset. 

Can you please let me know how i can check my role?

[vanessafvg]

how are you trying to edit it?

[sateshkumar]

Just checked, I am the admin of the workspace. 

I am trying to access using the below path:

Workspace->Datasets->Setting->DataSourceCredentials

Some background: This API currently is that of the OData dev environment and i want to replace it with OData Prod API key. But the field is greyed out.

Please help
