Quickbooks Online Linked Service - Need more information on how refresh tokens are handled

[rgknight]

We are using the Quickbooks Online Linked Service, described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/connector-quickbooks?tabs=data-factory

The copy data service doesn't ask for Access Tokens. It must therefore be using the refresh token to request a new access token.

When you refresh the access token, QBO will periodically update the refresh token, invalidating the previous refresh token. See: https://developer.intuit.com/app/developer/qbo/docs/develop/authentication-and-authorization/faq

It is unclear from the documentation how the Linked Service handles the new refresh token. If you are using a secret from the Azure Key Vault, does it update the value to the latest refresh token?

If it does nothing with the new refresh token -- not even returning it as an output, this is a bug.

If it updates the refresh token value, the documentation needs to be updated to explain this.
