set concurrency=1 for all pipelines

YevgenyM — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 19:40:58 GMT

Hi,

Few questions related to pipeline concurrency:

Is there an option to set "concurrency": 1 for all pipelines in a workspace via API perhaps?
- Does anyone has a script for that?
Is there an option to set "concurrency": 1 by default for all new pipelines within a workspace?

Thank you,

Yevgeny

Hi @YevgenyM,

To my knoweldge there's no way to set this by default.

What you can do is use the REST APIs to do this programatically. I don't have a script for you, but this would be the general approach:

1: get a pipeline definition: Items - Get Data Pipeline Definition - REST API (DataPipeline) | Microsoft Learn

2: decode the payload so it is readable
3: edit the readable payload to set the concurrency
4: re-encode the payload,
5: update the pipeline definition: Items - Update Data Pipeline Definition - REST API (DataPipeline) | Microsoft Learn

It helped me solve the issue, but the it is not a complete solution.
A complete solution would include a script - I built a script that did it.

Hello @YevgenyM, it's seems easier to be done via git. Concurrency is just one of the pipeline's parameter. by default resides right after "activities": [] but the order doesn't matter.
