post-workspace-info / Lineage wrong

I have seen a strange behavior today and am not sure if it has always been like this or not.

 

If I build a paginated report on top of a dataset where both are in the same workspace, this API call (that is great for lineage)

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/admin/workspace-info-post-workspace-info

 

returns this (which includes the dependentOnArtifactId so we know which dataset it is connected to)

paginated-dataset-in-same-wk.png

 

but... if the report is in a different workspace than the report, it returns this:

paginated-dataset-in-other-wk.png

 nothing to show, no dataset id or anything... no way to figure out which dataset it is connected to.

 

Please remember this API call is for tenant admins so it does not matter what my personal access to any workspace is.

Thanks but all of these settings are ON.

 

Like it says above, it is getting it for the same dataset if the Paginated report is in the same workspace as the dataset.

 

Just not if the report is in another workspace which seems like a bug to me.
