Power automate freezing/crashes when trying to add dynamic content

Posted on by 7

I have created a flow to pull responses from sharepoint into a CSV table filtering out on the the specific responses I want to report on. It has let me input some dynamic content, but then there are 4 options it just keeps freezing and will not let me add to the table. It just keeps freezing and saying wait or exit page. I have tried changing the browser i am editing the flow in. I have tried to shorten the field name and it just will not let me add the 4 responses I need to capture any ideas?

    This is definitely not a solution for the new editor.

    If you have multiple line of text field, and you try to back space, or highlight and use delete button, or highlight and start typing your next information. It just crashed the browser. 

    Please can Microsoft put in the effort we are paying you to do, and release some good quality products again some day. This is really bad for your future.

    This is also happening for me, when using the Send an Email from a Shared Mailbox (V2) action. It lets me create the action, and save the flow, but when I try to then edit the action, the entire window freezes and the only option is to close the browser tab.

     

    It only seems to happen with some flows - I have two instances of this action in 2 flows, both with complex HTML in the 'body' field and Dynamic Content in other various fields.

     

    Is there any way this can be resolved?

    My cursor freezes any time I try to use the “run desktop flow from cloud” action and connect to my local desktop development machine as “attended”. 

    I need to force shutdown of my computer any time this happens. Then even after reboot sometimes the cursor freezes up after it fully boots up.

    It’s like the power automate agent loads and it goes back into a mode where only the keyboard works. 

    terrible first experience with this product.

    I'm having the same issue. The solution provided above didn't work. Has anyone else found a different solution to this problem?

    I am experiencing the same issue. Could this be related to the following alert? 

     

    The URL for Power Automate is changing fromhttps://flow.microsoft.com tohttps://make.powerautomate.com. Make sure you update your bookmarks and let your admins know if access to the new URL is blocked. Traffic to the old URL will be redirected automatically to the new URL soon.

    I have exactly the same issue. PBI Desktop Freezes, can't close or do anything. Task Manager shows it's still running but I can't close it without terminating it in Task Manager.

    I am having the same problem in a different flow.  I'm using the "send an email from shared mailbox" action.  And it let me save the email I created (which is long and uses dynamic data), but it will not let me re-open the action in editor. 

    Just keeps saying "wait or exit page".   Waiting never helps. Reloading does nothing. Tried multiple browsers. Even rebuilt it TWICE in a new flow each time - and the same thing keeps happening.

     

    I tried your solution above, and turned on Experimental Features. But sadly it did not help. What is causing this, I'm going mad.

    @JB41912 go to setting icon, View all Power Automate settings, Experimental features - Turn On and please try again, hope it does not freeze/crash.
