Change lakehouse destination from append, replace, or fixed to use 'automatic' instead ?

[mrozzano]

If I set a dataflow lakehouse destination to use "append", "replace", or "fixed" settings, is there a way to reconfigure the destination to use "automatic settings" instead, without dropping the table or recreating the destination ?

If there's not an easy way to reconfigure to use automatic settings, is there a least-impactful method to recreate the destination using automatic settings ?

Hi @mrozzano ,

Currently, Data Factory dataflow destination configurations (such as Lakehouse) do not support changing the write mode directly (switching from “append”, “replace”, or “fixed” to “automatic”). Because the write mode is part of the target configuration, modifying it usually requires the target to be recreated.

One can try using parameterized dataflow where the write mode is parameterized in the dataflow. Dynamically passing parameter values in the pipeline to control the write behavior.

For more details, you can refer to below document:
