I have created some DataFlows and then decided to rename them due to a better naming convention i thought up!. Problem being when I go to Properties of the Dataflow and rename it, the dataflow renames for a fraction of a second then reverts back to original state.
Anyone else experiencing the same?? Or am i using the wrong method to rename??

We can go to more options in data flow and properties.. there we can rename the data flow
same issue
I am having this same issue. I need to rename my data flows for better alignment and its not saving. Any idea how long this might last or what I can do to continue working on these?
Can't rename it again 😞
Same issue here - Renamed failed pop up with session and request ids.
However, if I Edit the dataflow. don't make any changes then Publish later then I can rename the dataflow.
Very annoying.

@tanyad Yep experiencing the same thing. A no brainer feature and the lack of it creates a major work overhead if the dataflow has dozens of table loads as mine do.....
I added an idea ( feature request) for this.
I am presuming the feature is there as it lets you rename it in the properties, I just think it does not work.

Hi there,
pretty old chat, but I do have the same issue just today. Are there any workarounds?
Thanks in advance!
This annoying bug has kept this chat alive for years. I am trying to rename a data flow in Power Platform and I get an error popup with a two GUIDs in it and no description.
I had the same today, but I have a workaround. I think it's not official, but it works for me.
With workflows you have the opportunity to export to json file and import it (with the same name) to another workspace. Creating a dataflow - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
The emphasis in the previous sentence is on the same name, but it can be rewritten with a little handwork. The steps:
1. Export the dataflow to a json file.
2. Open the json file in a text editor e.g. notepad++
3. Modify the first property, the "name" to the new dataflow name you want.
4. Create a new dataflow with "Import Model" possibility.
5. Delete the old dataflow.
Good luck
This worked for me - thanks
