Condition after parallel branches does not show all previous actions in run after

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

If you have more than 4 parallel branches and put a Condition action after them, you'll only see four of the parallel branche actions in "Run After".

 

Is there any way to show ALL parallel branches or is this another inane UX design decision that MS couldn't be bothered to document anywhere?

    Re: Condition after parallel branches does not show all previous actions in run after

    There is not much to my flow. All I need to do is write data to various tables in an external system. To make the flow run faster I want to do this in parallel because I have a http response at the end to notify the user in real time whether the flow completed.

     

    All I want to know is whether having more than 4 parallel branches in "run after" is supported or not. If its not, MS should learn to write some decent documentation and actually put these sort of limitations in there.

     

    Guess there is nothing else to do but create sequential actions for the remaining data I need to write.

    @NoName404 Could you share a screenshot of your flow? It can help to provide more insights. More than 4 parallel branches seems like a lot. Maybe there is a way to restructure your flow. 

     

    In the meantime, your flight might benefit from using the Filter Array action. To learn more about how you can use the Filter Array action in your flow, please refer to this YT Tutorial: Are you using the Microsoft Power Automate Filter Action wrong?

    In this video tutorial I’ll show you 3 practical ways to use the Filter Array action and how to use it properly.

    1️⃣ Cross-Referencing Data

    2️⃣ Filtering by Key

    3️⃣ Substring Matching

     

    Did you know that the Condition action has a limit of 10 conditions? Although it might look like the Filter Array action can only accept one condition—this is not true. By using the advanced mode you can enter multiple conditions into a Filter Array action with an expression.
