From the blog "Duplicate workspaces using the Power BI REST APIs: a step-by-step tutorial". This code is quite useful for our usecase. Unfortunately, the piece that clones Tiles only works for pinned tiles from reports. Tiles with links do not get cloned properly and the API seems to have no option for resetting properties. For example:
{
"id": "fff7cee8-5ec0-xxxx-ab2f-4ad53c1a99de",
"title": "",
"subTitle": "",
"action": {
"openUrl": {
"targetUrl": "/reports/832f0434-6fad-xxxx-9000-f323229246f9"
},
"report": null,
"qAndA": null
},
"definition": {
"imageTile": {
"imageUrl": "http://xxxxxx/default/PowerVConsumption.png",
"origin": null
},
"ssrsTile": null
},
"embedUrl": "https://app.powerbi.com/emb...",
"rowSpan": 0,
"colSpan": 0
}
TargetUrl gets set to null on clone. Clone tile only supports setting following properties:
{
"TargetDashboardId":"df9f0e94-31df-450b-b97f-4461a7e4d308",
"TargetWorkspaceId":"000588f5-56b1-4a33-a690-fc25343d3fae",
"TargetReportId":"",
"TargetModelId":""
"PositionConflictAction":"Tail|Abort"
}
Why? Why not add all the properties and let end user to set them or at least clone them.
