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
