Semantic model cloud data source connection resets to SSO after getting updates pushed from git

[RichardMartin]

I have a Fabric workspace with a power BI report that is developed locally with Power BI Desktop. The changes to the PBI-project is pushed to a Git repo on Azude DevOps, which is connected to the workspace.

When the semantic model in the Fabric workspace is updated from the git repository, the cloud data source connection authentication is changed to SSO. This is because i authenticate with my SSO Azure Entra ID account when i develop the report in PBI Desktop. This information is then getting propagated through source control and into the semantic model on Fabric. So every time i push changes to the semantic model done in PBI Desktop, i must manually edit the settings of the semantic model on Fabric to use a cloud connection instead of SSO in order for the refresh to work.

What are the options to get rid of this manual intervention on each semantic model update?

That's what i figured, but i can't find anything in the commit that actually refers to this "setting"...

You would need to find a way to exclude that particular attribute from the  commit. Not sure if that is even supported.
