Dataflow refresh error - ErrorCode = -2146232060, Number = 131, Class = 6

Hello guys,

 

I have a dataflow that get data from Azure Synapse, it was working fine for 2+ months and yesterday it started to fail.

When I am editing tables and click on "Refresh" button it loads new data.

But when I save dataflow and schedule refresh or trigger manual refresh it fails and gives the error below.

 

I have two custom/conditional columns added in this table, nothing big. When I remove them it works fine.

I have data type nvarchar(500) in Synapse, so can't figure why I have 8000 in the error.

Can you help?
