The REST API supports dataset operations but does not allow adding a new table to an existing dataset. It does allow adding new columns/fields to existing tables - but the inability to add new tables is a huge hole in the API.

Agree with other folks that this is a major limitation, especially given that Power BI is designed to work with multiple tables.

I would also expect possibility to delete a table from dataset

It would also be great to be able to push relationships between tables via the REST API.
