Description

Hello,

Is there a public roadmap of planned REST API/cmdlet feature additions?

It would be nice to get a sense for what's coming so that we don't needlessly create UserVoice requests for things already in the works and so that we have a rough timeline to use when planning future automation scripting work.

In particular, do you know if API/cmdlet additions are planned to facilitate the migration to new workspaces?

For example, currently, I don't think there's a way to export (from old workspace) then import (into new workspace) a dataset that does not have any associated reports. It would be neat to have Export-PowerBIDataSet and Import-PowerBIDataSet. Similarly, it would be neat to have an Export-PowerBIReport option to export just the report (with a link to the data set instead of the data set itself). With these two changes, it should be possible to copy all datasets (including those not referenced by reports) and then copy all reports in a uniform manner (avoiding the need for some of the special handling in CopyWorkspaceSampleScript.ps1).

Thanks,
Ben

Research direction

Start with examples/CopyWorkspaceSampleScript.ps1, the only code path named in the issue, and compare its workspace-copy handling with the proposed dataset and report export/import operations. Done would require maintainers to publish a roadmap or define an accepted implementation scope and timeline; the issue does not identify a single self-contained code change.
