There is an option in dataflows to Import Model, which then presents you to select a json file.

Hi, did you actually try this though ?  I've tried it and nothing happens after selecting the JSON that was previously exported and clicking OPEN.  Maybe you have to modify the JSON with a new unique dataflow name ??

    Hi frano72 .

     

    I didn't try this. As I said to Anonymous, when I needed this option didn't exist.

     

    I recreated the flow with the same name in another workspace.

     

    regards,

     

    Marcelo.

      1. change model.json file exported from dataflow to a different name, if you don't want to delete the old one. 

      2. Change AllowNativeQueries attribute in model.json to false if it's true.
