Needs VotesFix a bug in dataflows: Using a parameter to reference a linked entity dataflow and/or workspace

Hi there,
I've discovered a bug when using parameters to reference a dataflow and/or workspace in linked entities.
It appears that when when I create a parameter to dynamically reference a dataflow and/or workspace in a downstream linked entity such as a 2nd dataflow, Power BI does to recognise that it belongs to the dynamically referenced workspace and/or dataflow.
Please see here for screenshots:

It would help when we want to deploy dataflows through deployment stages by importing the JSON and not have to manually change the references each time.
Cheers!

For me this is a bug, not an idea -- if the lineage view cannot identify the source of an entity, it should show this clearly (maybe with a "question mark" source) instead of just ignoring it.
