How can I see all dependencies of a variable in power automate?
I mean in an overview, just like in Canvas apps.
And including dependencies in subflows.
You can export your flow, then open the definition.json file, search for @variables('varName'), then if you go to the left you will see the action name using that variable and what section that variable is being used in. Sadly I don't know of a clean interface way to concisely see where a variable is being used. Maybe you could write a flow to parse the json and return the action names where the variable was used, then you could use it on other flows as well.
Thanks @NickMerrick , for your quick reply. I will give the json flow a try. But I was indeed looking for a more simple build-in option PA in the interface. As there is in Canvas Apps and Power Automate Desktop, where you can find this with a push on a button or with a search function.
you should post an idea here, I know I would vote for it
