In Power Automate - Power BI Dataset refresh fails after dataset parameter updated via API

Hi All

I have a Flow that updates Power BI Dataset parameter via HTTP Request to Power BI API 
PA_PbiApiCall.PNG

and then doing Dataset refresh 

PA_PbiRefresh.PNG

but refresh fails saying "ModelRefreshFailed_CredentialsNotSpecified\" and if I go to Power BI service - Dataset is missing data source credentials.
But if I remove "Dataset Refresh" http request action that updates parameter then Dataset Refresh action completes successfully.

So it looks like Update pbi dataset parameter via API removes Dataset source credentials 😞 

Any way to sort it?

Thanks

I seem to recall that after updating the parameters you need to retake ownership of the dataset or something?

Its not losing ownership, its losing data source credentials
