Flows with an error in Compose or Filter are unretrievable

I'm trying to use compose and/or filter actions in my Flows, but if I test the flow and cause a read of null, I'm unable to load the editor to fix the flow, and instead have to delete the flow and start from scratch. I understand not showing the run, but it would be reasonable to allow me to edit the flow to fix the issue and test again.

Error: Cannot read property 'getData' of null

    Unfortunately, I deleted the flows that did this. And I am having a hard time replicating the issue.

     

    It's possible it was related to a Dynamics 365 migration that I found out about after it happened.. My flow was referencing a D365 entity, and I've had fatal errors before with PowerApps crashing when it had trouble connecting to a D365 data source.

     

    You can close the issue as not reproducable

    Hi Michowl,

     

    Can you please post a screenshot of all the detailed infomation of your flow? Including the trigger and actions. I just tested with a flow with Compose or Filter action, and after I created it, I can go back and edit it succussfully.

     

    Regards,

    Mona
