Be able to rename a dataflow after it's original creation. A simple must have feature. Seems currently that renaming is not supported. After changing the name in properties it throws an error and reverts back to the original.

RE: rename dataflow

This error occurs when the model is in process of refreshing. It should work fine once refresh has completed.

Works for me. Does not revert back to original name. Try if you can erase the cookies related to app.powerbi.com website and see if the issue persists.
