Hi everyone,
I have a Flow which is triggered by a Form. The Form is embedded within a SharePoint page which is displayed as a tab in a team.
The Flow is a simple 'sign in', which populates a list with the name, email address, job title etc. of the person who completed it.
The issue I am experiencing is... whenever I submit the Form to trigger the Flow, the Flow runs twice (almost simultaneously) as if I had submitted the same Form twice (simultaneously or in quick succession).
You can see from the screenshot where the Flow has run twice, each time from a single Form submission.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue?
Thanks in advance for any support.
I am having the same problem! I created the flow back in December 2022 and it's been working OK, with no problems until a few weeks ago, when it starting duplicating the outcomes. So when a New response is submitted generate 2 authorization requests, 2 entries on a SharePoint list and 2 emails - before that it was working perfectly as intended.
Not a clue what to do
just felt victim to this very exact scenario.
Form that has been up and not modified for over a year,
Companion Flow to capture new submissions, also not modified for over a year.
They do not get Tremendous use, but we can say safely that about 1-2 submissions on average per week.
Early this AM it started running duplicates flows as if there was (2) submissions at nearly the exact same time.
Very easy to replicate the issue and watch the process runs twice.
Tons of good info here on possible solutions,
I created a back up before attempting any modifications and the idea of duplicating sounded very appealing, but I loathe having to involve other teams to change the re-direct URL to the existing Form....
Lucky for me, just turning off the Flow for a few minutes and coming back to enable and test was enought to flush the gremlin.
@erikregiovvarml your Solution is great.
I even found that even the following works.
1 - Remove last character from Form ID
2 - Save Flow
3 - Replace last character to Form ID
4 - Save Flow
I also got this issue and i have been able to reproduce it.
Steps to do it:
1. Create a solution in testenviroment with a Flow trigger When a new response is submitted save and export flow to another enviroment.
2. Import flow in enviroment as a managed solution.
3. Test the flow (this time it run as it should only once)
4. Go back to the unmanaged solution in the testenviroment and make som changes.
5. Export the solution again
6. Import the flow again.
7. Run the flow (now it runs twice)
Solution
1. Change formsid in the imported flow to something else and save the flow.
2. Change back the formID to the original.
3. Test the flow now it only run once.
I can concur that replacing the form with a new copy and updating the form ID in the flow to the new one fixes this problem.
The issue must be with a corrupt form.
Thanks for this suggestion.
We have 2 versions of the form: Test & Production, so that we can handle future updates to the flow and/or form.
Temporarily swapping the IDs in our production environment with the test version and then back appears to have addressed.
