Hi,

Is there a way to use  "copy data link" function with Excel or Power BI desktop to manage a dynamic list from IFS?

Yes, but with basic authentication. Since Excel or Power BI will not accept a token from any other identity provider expect Azure AD.

Basic authentication is disabled by default, since it’s not recommended.

Basic Authentication has to be specifically enabled on the IFS Proxy.
