Programmatically Add Option Set Values in Dynamics 365 with Power Automate

Inogic Profile Picture Inogic 1,135 Moderator

In Dynamics 365 or Power Apps, fields like Job Title or Region often use Option Sets (Choice fields) or Lookup fields for predefined lists. Manually entering large lists (50+ values) is inefficient, especially when data comes from Excel.

To streamline this, Excel and Power Automate can be used to automate Option Set creation:

  • When to use Option Sets: Ideal for static, simple lists without metadata or relationships.

  • Automation benefits: Saves time, reduces errors, and simplifies updates.

Automated Process Overview:

  1. Structure Excel file with desired values.

  2. Use Power Automate to:

    • Read each row from Excel.

    • Add values to the Option Set in Dataverse.

    • Automatically publish changes.


Once set up, the flow can be triggered with one click to update fields efficiently.
