Unable to Set App Owner

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 242

 When using the Set App Owner action from the PowerApps for Admin connector, I get the following error. I copied and pasted the app name so I'm sure that I don't have any typos. Does anyone know what would be causing this?

 

{
  "error": {
    "code""InvalidApplicationNameCharacters",
    "message""The provided application name 'DEV - Revenue Recognition' has these invalid characters '   '. 

The name can only be a letter, digit, '-', '(', ')' or '_'."
  }
}

    Hi @DLGross,

     

    From the error message, it seems that the app name has some invalid characters.

    Could you please try to remove all the special characters from the app name?

    I guess there are spaces within the name, please remove the spaces from the name and try again.

    If you are still having the issue, please feel free post back.

     

    Best regards,

    Mabel Mao

    Thanks, but that does not make any sense. The app has been created and is working fine. The problem is occurring when I'm trying to run a Flow that uses the connector. I wonder if there is an issue with the parameter in the connector. I understand that the connector is still in Preview, but it should work, and it doesn't.

     

    I did some more research, and apparently the GUID for the App Name is required for this parameter, but it does not work either.
