Hi Miguel,  I'm currently working through the documentation to get up and running but hitting a snag.  I'm using a PPU account and creating a blank workspace with PPU assignment.  The streaming dataflow option is greyed out with a message stating "Workspaces connected to a storage account are not supported".  This workspace is not connected to Azure nor is the tenant.  I've also tried using an Embedded A3 tier attached to the workspace but I get the same message.

    Hey AndyDDC I replied to this in the blog comments too. You found a bug that blocks any workspace in a tenant connected to ADLS even if the workspace is not connected. We quickly sent a fix that should be deployed in 7 days or less. Thanks for the flag and for trying out streaming dataflows. I'll let you and everyone else know when this is fixed here and in the blog.

    Hello, does not seem that the streaming dataflows work with deeper than 1 level nested items? F.e. trying to pull the _env field and it does not produce an output. Any ideas?

      Hi, you can pull it by using Manage Fields operator

        Eklavya still does not work. When I use Manage fields to pull f.e. 1st level items (not nested), it works fine. When I try to do it with 2nd level nested items - it does not. I'm pulling all from the same event hub, same streaming dataflow, use manage fields, filters, output tables and the only output is for the items that are not nested.
