Bug with displayName variables in fields

Posted on 28 Nov 2024 21:53:56 by
Hi folks!
 
Back in April, 2024 I built a flow that pulls the tags from a Team, loops through them to pull the users associated with each tag and then writes the user's display name, email address and tag to a row in an excel file. This was working perfectly in this flow for several months. I needed to do the same for a new Team, so I duplicated this flow and set it up the same way, but now I'm encountering a bug which works as follows:
 
Both the user and the tag have displayName variables that contain the user's full name and the human-readible tag name respectively. This was no issue when I set up the flow in April. However, this time, I set up the flow and when it runs, power automate is replacing the tag displayName with the user's displayName variable so no longer writing the correct information to the row. When I went back to my previous functional one and checked that I had the variables set correctly, it saved the flow and now it is also broken by the same bug.
 
I'm not sure how to approach a fix for this as it seems to be on the backend of power automate. I thought about running a script to code the different variables but there's a learning curve to that which may not be worth it in the end.
 
Any support you can provide with this would be much appreciated.
 
Thank you!
