Hi all,
Wanted to discuss something we found with Power Automate Desktop.
So we're building this gigantic PAD flow that included handling a lot of stuff in JD Edwards application, so we're using a Lot of elements and recording a lot of stuff. The solution we had for this and also other 'brother' flows kept growing until we met the threshold at which we could no longer export the solution.
At that point we tried to figure out why it takes so much space, and then we realised it is the screenshots. PAD does not offer any option to delete screenshots or not save them in the first place - at least we could not find such option, so we needed a way to work around that.
And the way is:
1) Create a new Flow
2) Copy the flow/subflow content from the old one
3) Paste in Notepad++ (it will show as text)
4) Replace text:
Find: (?<="Screenshot": ).+?(?=,)
Replace with: null
You end up getting something like this:
5) Copy the edited text
6) Paste in the new flow
This way the screenshots are manually cut out from the flow and the result was that our biggest flow decreased in size from 30mb to 334kb.
I realise this is kinda hacky, but I am wondering whether there is any other way to deal with the issue of flow size?
