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?

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
