Unable to Upload RDL Files using Rest API

Hi,
I am trying to use the Imports - Post Import In Group - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn API to post RDL Files to the Workspace. When I try to use this for a normal pbix it works just fine, but when I do it with RDL Files, it gives me ImportUnsupportedOption Error. Here are the screenshots for the same on Postman.

Hello,

 

I'm wondering if you were able to get this working? I've been at this all day with no luck. I have the same use case.

 

Thanks,

Craig

Hi

 

For rdl report, include "nameConflict:Abort" in query parameter.  value for nameConflict is either 'Abort' or 'Overwrite '

According to the docs, there are limitations on some of the options. Do you get this message? "Import Rdl file through API with Ignore or CreateOrOverwrite as nameConflict option is not supported!"
