I am trying to add a new record to the Dataverse and populate two lookup columns using dynamic content from Dataverse tables. Every time I try to add a new record, I get a "Resource not found for the segment XXXXX" message. My flow is configured as follows:
The Get Created Model is a "Get by Row ID" and the "Get Default Forecast Values" is a "List rows" step, so I'm wanting to create a new record for each Forecast Value and link to the Fee Type and the ForecastModel from the previous steps.
Anyone have any ideas? About to pull my hair out.

So I figured it out with the help of this blog post (https://linnzawwin.blogspot.com/2019/11/power-automate-how-to-set-lookup-field.html). I saw some similar posts in the Community forum as well but didn't quite make sense of it until I found this article.
To summarize, it appears that the current Dataverse connector STILL expects users to input the plural name of the Dataverse field and then enclose the dynamic GUID content block in parens:
Why? I have no idea... I've heard it was "by design," but this literally took hours for me to figure out, so I hope the Microsoft team will resolve that behavior as it turns the "low-code/no-code" nature of the Power Platform into "low-code/no-code/hope-you-can-stumble-across-a-solution-code"! 😞

I have Tried every "incantation" to add a lookup field value to a table using Power automate including
ntt_estimationfactors(8c6fc718-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-000d3a338055)
ntt_estimationfactors/8c6fc718-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-000d3a338055
/ntt_estimationfactors/8c6fc718-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-000d3a338055
I am able to use GetRowById using the guid so I know the record exists.
I have validated the lookuplogicalname for the lookup field
Am I missing something? Has something changed?
Cheers
Hey All, Managed to solve my own issue. It turns out that most times the 'logicallookupname' will work for you, however sometimes it's not even the correct choice.
I followed the following article and got the answer I was looking for. (https://tomriha.com/how-to-update-dataverse-lookup-column-with-power-automate/)
So when I grabbed the Json of the Solution Project Table (which contains the lookup column I'm trying to set) I found the logicallookupname of ntt_estimationfactors
It turns out what I should have done is taken my Org URL from the top of the JSON up to the v9.1
Pasted that url into a browser window and searched for my table
Where I found the name it was looking for was ntt_estimationfactorses.
I could then use this name as follows:
That's seriously a bunch of hoops to have to jump through just to add a row.
