Tableau Sever Publish Data Source Name / Project

My organization requires users to change their active directory passwords every so often. That's fine. That does create an issue with changing passwords on all workflows that contain a tableau server publish, but that's not the real issue here.

 

What's more annoying is that once that password is changed, the data source name and project is lost. When updating multiple data sources across workflows (or within the same workflow) this becomes quite cumbersome and annoying. 

 

I know there are limitations on the partner side as this is technically a tableau controlled thing, but is there anything that can be done here?

The Tableau tools do not lose the configuration when credentials are changed. They also support DCM, so potential password change can happen only at one place without the need of changing each and every tool in every workflow.
