Lineage view: old source still visible for data flow

[fpennisi17]

Hello,

I am testing the switch of some dataflows of mine from an on-prem to an azure SQL Server source.

The switch of the source worked well, but in the workspace lineage view the old source still remains (the one circled in red in the picture below):

Is there a way to remove it from the view?

Thanks

Hi @fpennisi17 ,

As far as I know so far, the problem is not resolved. Then only way to remove obsolete data sources is to export and reimport the dataflow (as JSON). But that breaks any downstream usage...

Thanks.

By the way, I would like to add a bit of information: after the switch of the datasource, the old one was deallocated. I recently noted that this source disappeared from the Lineage View.

I don't if that depends from the unavailability of the source or a PBI update that could have fixed that issue.
