When using deployment pipelines, we can change parameters for datasets, but not for reports. This since standalone reports doesn't have parameters.

Without this possibility, the deployment pipelines will never work as expected

Let's harmonize two Enterprise best practices: using Centralized Datasets, and using Deployment Pipelines in both the Centralized Dataset Workspace AND in their affiliated Reporting Workspaces. Currently, its not possible to parameterize Power BI Dataset connections (one of the few connection typ...
