Neither the Linage view or the Refresh dependencies between linked dataflows works when the dependent data source is appointed by a M parameter. Concerning the Linage View, this is also true between a dataset and a dataflow. So please note that this issue is not only isolated to dependencies between dataflows, it the same between datasets and dataflows

This is treated as by-design by the product group (case number 1120050422002035), but they might be willing to change opinion if this gets many votes.

If this doesn't work, neither linked dataflows or the Linage view works as expected whenever you use parameters to address the data source, so please vote if you use parameters on data sources.

Similar to reports linked to centralised dataset and not able to change parameter rules.
Same here that you cannot change deployment rule for datasets linked to dataflows.
