We are decommissioning the subscription where the current storage account lives and migrating it to a new subscription in the same tenant. However, we have hundreds of dataflows in workspaces that are connected to the tenant's Azure storage account. The only solution to perform this migration of the storage account is to delete all dataflows, disconnect the workspace, disconnect the connection at the tenant level, reconnect the tenant to the new location of the storage account, reconnect all workspaces, recreate all dataflows and finally reconfigure the datasets to use the newly created dataflows as they changed IDs. This is a lot of work for the simple maintenance task of switching to a new storage account.


It would be ideal to have a way to change the storage account without deleting all dataflows.

This is a really good idea! Would save a lot of time for all the users during migrations.
