Flow Failing due to Template Error

[Jambo1]

Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Return_all_previous_Approved_submissions' inputs at line '1' and column '2532': 'The template language expression 'json(decodeBase64(triggerOutputs().headers['X-MS-APIM-Tokens']))['$connections']['shared_sharepointonline']['connectionId']' cannot be evaluated because property 'shared_sharepointonline' doesn't exist, available properties are 'shared_sharepointonline_2, shared_approvals_2, shared_sendmail_2'. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions for usage details.'.

I get this error after editing a flow that is co-owned by a colleague. Rolling back my change just moved the same error on to another update item block. 

Both of us had connections to Sharepoint but deleting them and recreating them didnt help. 

only when I exported and imported as new did this fix the problem. Does this mean that we need to be very careful if 2 users are editing the same flow?

thanks

Hi @Jambo1,

I see similar situation with your issue in some similar Threads, as mentioned by Pieter_Veenstra, similar problems occur sometimes when you introduced new connectors to a flow after you have initially saved the flow without using that connector.

The effective solution is the same as you described, which is to export the Flow and then re-import it as a new Flow, and the new Flow will work.

It seems that this does not matter much if there are multiple people editing the same Flow at the same time.

Best Regards,

thanks @v-bacao-msft

it does sound like the same problem in that we end up introducing new connections (e.g. we have a Sharepoint connector authorised to user A then User B edits and Sharepoint connector Authorised to B is created)

Do youu know if this is something the Dev team are working on to improve?

thanks
