HELP: Add Dynamic Content option not available in Flows

I am not able to see Add Dynamic Content link in Flow steps for any action or trigger. This is not working in any browser (even after reset and clearing cache). I am user Surface Pro 4 with Windows 10.

Increase your video resolution.  In my case, I found if it sees a low resolution, it thinks it can't fit the dynamic content window on the screen.  I upped to 1600 x 900 and now I see the dynamic content option.

Hi @YatinMumbai,

 

I probably got to know the issue you are currently experiencing in your previous post.

It seems that it is not an issue, you may not be familiar with Recurrence action and Dynamic content.

Recurrence trigger does not generate any Dynamic content, so Dynamic content list will display "NO DYNAMIC CONTENT AVALIABLE".

As mentioned in this article, configuring Start Date Time uses Expression instead of Dynamic content.

Recurrence does not generate any Dynamic content, and other actions or triggers are fine. For example, Create a task action, as below:

Please try using Expression to configure the corresponding fields.

If you have other questions, feel free post back.

Unfortunately, I am not seeing Add Dynamic Content at all in any Flow I try to create. But I can see the same and enter expressions/formulas on another computer with my same login. I am using a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 running Windows 10. I have reset all browsers (IE, Chrome, Edge). What seems to be blocking this? While I am not an expert in Flow, I not not a novice either.

I am having this exact same problem as well.  I've cleared cache, reset everything I can find, tried multiple browsers to no avail.  I can try this on my home computer (I need my work one for this) and the option shows there even under the same account.  It also showed previously on my work computer and one day just stopped appearing at all in any flow for any trigger type.

Hi Rob,

I am not finding any solution to this problem.

Me either.  I switched to Edge and even reinstalled Office thinking it might be one of the underlying items like Silverlight.  Nope.  If I want to do a forumula, I have to do it from another computer to make it work.  

Increase your video resolution.  In my case, I found if it sees a low resolution, it thinks it can't fit the dynamic content window on the screen.  I upped to 1600 x 900 and now I see the dynamic content option.

Thanks @Rob_Whelan for this. Changing my resolution solved it for me. 

 

Strange though that the developers chose to have this behavior instead of accomodating different resolutions. 

Reduce the zoom size of the browser and the pop up will show up.

Try zooming out the page to 75% or less and exit/enter the field again - the dynamic content should appear. 

Ridiculous bug.

P.S. Also, if you are using Firefox, there may be additional difficulties with entering the expression - switch to Edge or Chrome.

In my case, I realize that the problem came from the origin file in the trigger.

(Image describe that  I didn't could aggregate any dynamic content for the trigger, it was all I could see )

Just to clarify... at one point this function stop working. 

 

I figured out that when in the same share point file I just swap lists in the trigger that I had available, and I discovered that just one of them has a problem with dynamic content. Then I check for an issue in every column of the list finding that there are problems with some sort of data, like people or images.

I deleted all these columns because they didn't let me change their data type I assume that it was a problem. 

And then the dynamic content related to the trigger worked.

I don't know why this happens in the first place in Microsoft Lists.

In my case, it was a matter of my video resolution of all things. I raised my resolution and apparently power platform automatically changed the interface back to what I expected. The link reappeared and everything was fine.

What about in power automate for power BI desktop? No option to reduce the resolution, how do I go about solving the issue?

Fixed my issues by adjusting the Screen zooms on your laptop, they function is at the bottom right of the screen,you can't miss it.

I have tried to zoom out to 75% and 80% and I still get this.

This looks like something different @kelleykbrandt - do you have any actions above that step? It can be only if what's on the screen is the first action after a manual flow trigger. Try to reload the page otherwise?

@TechnoKitty The SP site and the list are included above in the "when a new items is created."

This is strange, @kelleykbrandt... I just tried to create such a flow and confirm that you should be able to see at least ID and Title from the Sharepoint list. Did you try another list or site? Something looks wrong.
