Development Pipeline datasource not updating

[kl0012]

I'm having an issue with using the Development Pipelines function on the PowerBI server. I have all 3 environments set up, DEV, TEST & PROD. When a dashboard and its dataset are moved from DEV to TEST or from TEST to PROD, the datasource won't update and will always point to the DEV environment.

This means that my PROD & TEST dashboards are always pointing to the DEV workspace, which negates this whole process because we can have changes in the DEV workspace being seen in the PROD workspace. 

The current workaround involves downloading the dashboard, manually resetting its datasource to point to the TEST/PROD environment, and then manually publish to TEST/PROD. 

Anyone else running into this or have any thoughts?

If your dataset and report are both in the same pipeline they they definitely should autobind to the relevant objects in the same stage see Understand the Power BI deployment pipelines process - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

If this is not happening for you, then you might need to raise a support ticket with Microsoft.

Thanks @d_gosbell ! it's now been fixed. It was an error on Microsoft's end as you said 🙂 everything looks like it's being siloed accordingly in the appropriate workspace when deploying from space to space now. Woo!
