Power Automate Ideas

It would be nice if I could copy an action into another. It'll make it easier and faster to complete the flow. For example: Depending on the day of the week, I need to update the [todayschedule] on SharePoint list. Using the Switch/Case actions, on Monday case, add an [Update Item] action. Then copy this action for Tuesday - Friday cases and just change the [todayschedule] column without needing to select the list path, list name, ID, and other required contents each time. Thanks.

Hi, Using HTTP service action is a bit complicated to authenticate to Sharepoint Online. Can we have additional action called like "SharePoint - Custom REST" or something to enter REST url like _api/web/lists/ and get site lists or call other available sharepoint REST calls using users authentication?

I understand the current limitation on renaming an Action that has subsequent actions that depend upon it. I'd like functionality to be implemented that will refactor the flow (rename subsequent uses of the Action's output) when a rename occurs, so that I can rename an Action that has dependencies upon it. Kind of like how in Visual Studio, I can select a variable name, right click and select rename and it will rename all uses of the variable.

Hi all. MS Flow is awasome. After a few flows, I ned a new action for Trello. "Trello: When a Card has moved" Board ID List ID It is similar to "When a new card is added to a list" but what if you drag an existing card to the list. That is, what I want to trigger/detect. best regards Ingo

Please provide an error handling in the flow. Erros/success output of the action. So it is possible to react on failed actions.

I need to move a page from one section to another when a process Item changes status triggered through a flow. There appears to be no move function like in Outlook to move an email to a new folder I though maybe get page and create new page bet then there is no option to delete the old page

There is no way to clear a field of type person or group. When trying to set it to empty it repsonds with cannot find user (or similar). Idea: For example if I set the field to the expression null the field should be emptied. Note! this could/should be implemented on all field types.

The Compose action's field becomes read-only after it runs once. In complex flows that depend on long chains that are dependent on each other, I've had to delete and re-create up to 7 Compose Actions everytime I needed to make a small change in one of the ones at the top. This is far more common while using Compose Actions to create more and more complex flows.

I'm not able to perform actions on connections between records/users in CRM. I'd like to be able to update a record to change the owner to whom it is assigned. A standard REST Update action cannot make changes to fields that are read only (foreign keys cannot be changed directly). Other actions, like add to queue are also needed. Queue is another field that cannot be changed directly.

Hello, It would be nice to have the capability to retrieve the question and answers of service request (support ticket) created from O365 admin portal. With this capability, we can automate the process to build our knowledge base.

I find it difficult to create a work item, given that I can't see what the current sprint is, what teams are available, etc. I don't even really need the teams, projects, those can be hard coded or passed in, but the current iteration given a team and project is a must.

It would be great to have the ability to like or share a Post. For example I would love to have the ability to automatically like or share a post of my company with my private facebook account.

I'm trying to create a flow to automatically add a new support cases to a queue in Dynamics CRM. I'm able to create QueueItem from the new Case, and I can look up the Queue by name, but I don't see a field on either record relating to the other (no QueueID field on the QueueItem, no QueueItems field on the Queue). There should be some linkage to indicate to which queue to add the QueueItem. Alternatively, an action to Add CRM record to queue could be useful to increase clarity to business users. [edited to add]: More specifically, we should be able to perform any of the actions provided by the Dynamics 365 WebAPI, inlcuding assign to queue
