Deployment pipelines do not currently support Dataflows. In our organisation, we want to carefully govern a particular workspace which will contain the common dataflows which people want to use in many reports (e.g. a dates table, a list of active employees (GDPR permitting, etc).
Deployment pipelines will enable us to put the right governance in place for Dataflows.

Thank you for your feedback! We highly appreciate you taking the time and letting us know what's missing. this feature is a known gap and it is part of our backlog to complete. I will update here when work will start.

RE: Deployment pipelines to support dataflows
Definitely need this, we can't use pipelines without it - everything is done through DFs in our Org. Thanks
RE: Deployment pipelines to support dataflows
We need this to fully operationalize BI Dev with Dataflows. Otherwise we would need to create a custom way of deploying Dataflows along the development stages, really not favourable!!
RE: Deployment pipelines to support dataflows
I think this issues actually renders pipelines not useable at the moment
I have spent the last few months pushing users to move to dataflows "Power BI introduces dataflows to help organizations unify data from disparate sources and prepare it for modeling"
Everyone understands why dataflows are a good thing and have made an effort to use them.
Now everyone is excited to move to pipelines with their Premium capacity. However I've just found out it doesn't work with dataflows. Ive tried it. You get your unsupported warnings and when you look at your reports in your test environment you cant see anything even after a refresh.
Basically, I dont feel I can now backtrack on telling people that actually dataflows aren't really useable if they want to create Pipelines in their Premium capacity.
I would feel better if someone could say, this is coming in a specified amount of time. I really don't know what to tell people at the moment. they have spent a lot of time following the recommendations of dataflows.
RE: Deployment pipelines to support dataflows
Its surprising to know Release pipelines do not support Dataflows.
we need the ability to deploy json script from one deployment stage to next.
Also, the support for parameter is required, so that parameter for Datasource within a Dataflow could be pointed correct DB when moved to next stage
