Dataflow Deployments Changes Owner and Drops Settings
When we deploy a PowerBI Dataflow from one workspace to another using a PBI Pipeline, the owner changes to the person deploying it. This causes the project settings (gateway) and other configuration settings to be dropped forcing us to open the dataflow and make updates to it after the fact which shouldn't be the case. Is there another approach that would help us work around this behavior or some other means of updating the settings programmable? We looked into the Rest Api but it seems limited and can't be used to change owners. Keep in mind, if you need someone else to support the dataflows they will need to take ownership of it and then open it to reset the gateway under the project settings. This is not very practical for larger organziations.
Thanks
Andre.

Thank you for your response v-zhangti,
My question was more about how to get around changing ownership when the dataflow is deployed to a new workspace. When the ower changes it drops the gateway in project settings so we are forced to open every dataflow and reset the gateway when the owership changes which, as you can imagine, is not very practical for larger organizations where multiple support team members are involved.
