Changing the source of a dataset

As a data analyst I want to be able to change the source of a dataset.
This is necessary when it has been moved or the location name has been changed. We know where the source is, but there's no way we can change the source.

    • Edit your data set.
    • In the browser's address bar, change perspective=dataset to perspective=authoring.

    Now you have all of the tools available for report development, including replacing a package.

    If you need to be able to do this outside the editor... I understand.  In 11.0.3 the "Source" property is just a listing.  No link is included to be able to change it from the Properties pane in the portal.
