Description
Few items return no values for Get-PowerBIWorkspace -Include All
- Under Workspace details : Users section, UserPrincipalName is not allowed to be displayed
- Under Reports details : WebURL, EmbedURL is not displayed
- Under Datasets : DefaultRetentionPolicy, Tables, WebURL, Relationships, Datasources, Defaultmode, ActualStorage values are not displayed
- Under Dataflows : ModelURL value not displayed
Fiddler traces indicate there are no calls for these in the backend APIs, so, why display blank items even if we are not calling them from the backend APIs? This might cause more questions to the admins on why are they seeing blank values.

Research direction
Start at the Get-PowerBIWorkspace implementation and trace how -Include All maps the listed workspace, report, dataset, and dataflow properties. Compare those properties with the Fiddler traces showing no backend calls. Done means the command’s handling of unsupported fields is consistent and the affected output no longer misleadingly presents blank values.
