Condition Builder

Posted on by CU24061812-0 2

I’m encountering a blocking issue with the Condition control in the new Power Automate designer.

  • When typing a value (e.g., “Completed”), a new condition row is automatically added
  • The extra row cannot be deleted
  • Code view shows “read-only” and cannot be edited
  • The condition becomes unusable and unsavable

I also attempted using Trigger Conditions as a workaround, but the flow does not trigger at all even when the value changes correctly.

This prevents creating even a basic condition and blocks flow development entirely.

    I have seen posts about a new row being added.
     
    From these posts, it will not affect the condition, which in testing shows that the blank row is ignored:
    However, if you want to delete the blank row from the condition, you would not do it in code view but under parameters and clicking the three dots to the right of the row in the condition and selecting delete, which if it is an empty expression will not delete.
    If you really want it deleted, you'll need to toggle off New designer and edit the condition in the classic designer, which will not show the empty row:
     
     
    As for the issue with your trigger condition, you'll need to post what you tried to use for a trigger condition.
