Flow with When a record is selected trigger does not appear in model-driven app bug

[Helpful]

Hi All,

I have been creating flows using this trigger and I think there's a bug.

To do the steps below you'll need a model-driven app with the Account entity included to validate the behavior.

These steps result in failure for me:

1. From within a solution, create a new Flow - DO NOT HIT SAVE UNTIL ALL STEPS ARE COMPLETED
2. Select the "When a record is selected" trigger, choose Default environment and Account as entity
3. Add an action "Get a record" from the CDS (current environment) connection
4. Rename the trigger to "When an Account is selected"
5. Rename the action to "Get Account details"
6. Name the flow : "Flow Test 1"
7. Click Save
8. Immediately, you'll see that the trigger's name has been reverted
9. Go to model driven app, select an Account from a list and click the Flow button in the ribbon - "Flow Test 1" will not show

These steps result in success for me:

1. From within a solution, create a new Flow - DO NOT HIT SAVE UNTIL ALL STEPS ARE COMPLETED
2. Select the "When a record is selected" trigger, choose Default environment and Account as entity
3. Add an action "Get a record" from the CDS (current environment) connection
4. Name the flow : "Flow Test 2"
5. Click Save
6. Go to model driven app, select an Account from a list and click the Flow button in the ribbon - confirm "Flow Test 2" appears

Anyone also observing something similar?

This is driving me insane at the moment - flows with the CDS selected record trigger not appearing.

Another observation is that any time you leave a flow with the selected record trigger, you get the message about your changes not being saved.

It definitely looks like the when a record is selected step should never be renamed. 

The rename step is greyed out after first save and a 'Rename is not supported for this step' popup appears.

Aha, I hadn't clicked on the little "i".  Yeah, I'm not sure if my steps above totally reproduce an error... I'm just seeing annoying behavior now where a Flow may or may not show up in the app - sometimes it shows up the next day and sometimes never.  That can't be the intended behavior.

I will say this for anyone working with these:  do NOT build a Flow past the first action until it shows up in the app.

Yep - with the 'When a record is selected' trigger, here is my current get it working steps:

1. In a solution, create a flow with a 'When a record is selected' trigger.
2. Add a 'Get Record' action (CDS current is fine).
   Don't rename either of these steps
3. Save, close, publish and go for a walk - the flow can take up to 15 minutes to appear in the menu.

Really, what we need is the 'When a record is selected' trigger to be added to the CDS (current environment) list.
