    Hey @Anonymous 

     

    Can you share more details? You cannot find the flow definition when exporting as JSON. You will find it when exporting it as a package. 

     

    And if you are trying to get the flow definition in a running flow as a part of the flow management action, you can add an action to get flow and select the appropriate flow. You will now be able to find the flow definition in the dynamic selector. 

     

    Hope this Helps!

    Hey @Anonymous 

     

    Can you share details on the scenario that you are trying to build? And the screenshot of the flow where you are facing the issue?

    Hey @Anonymous 

     

    Can you place the cursor in the File content and then in the dynamic selector type 'de', this should get you the flow definition. And if not, you can switch to the expression editor and use the expression: 

     

    body('Get_Flow')['properties']['definition']
     
    Hope this Helps!
