Trying to create an Azure Synapse Analytics link for a newly created Azure Synapse workspace. Both the workspace and the storage account are in the same region, but the storage account doesn't show in the dropdown. Please see attached.

    Hi @Kevin Boteler,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

    • Verify HNS is enabled on the storage account.
    • Confirm tenant/subscription match between the Synapse workspace and the storage account.
    • Assign/confirm Owner + Storage Blob Data Contributor on the storage to you and the Synapse workspace principals.
    • Temporarily relax network restrictions (or configure managed identity access) and retry the picker.
    • Refresh portal session (InPrivate / different browser) and re-open the creation/link blade.
    • Recheck resource provider registration.
    • Please try using a different region.

    If the issue persists, please share the required details in a private message.
