Cannot rename actions

(1) ShareShare

Hi,

 

Has anyone else experienced that they cannot rename an action in Power Automate? It just keeps resetting all the time:

It's flow where I am using the Power Apps trigger (canvas app). It seems to be working fine for flows where the trigger is anything else.

    I am using Chrome and it working for me. 

     

    I would suggest logging off and close the current browser window, clear cache and start a fresh session to check if you continue to face the same issue.

    I tried different browsers, cleared cookies, cache, history etc. It's still the same.

    @NielsL Ok. You mentioned it is specific to this particular Trigger(Flow) only. 

     

    For test create a new Flow with the template in Chrome(incognito window), https://unitedkingdom.flow.microsoft.com/en-us/galleries/public/templates/05ed784f63df4ac7b8cbb465005d6068/powerapps-button/ 

     

    Add a compose action, try to rename it, with reference to the screenshot in my previous update. 

     

    You might want to have a quick chat with your colleague(user from same Power Automate environment) and check if he is facing the same problem.

    Hello @NielsL 

     

    This happens to me when using Power Apps trigger when the Flow is already embedded in the Power App.

     

    to rename actions, remove the trigger. Than rename the actions, than re add your Power Apps trigger and put back in your Ask in power apps variables where ever needed.
