Message formatting partly lost after saving flow

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 30

Hello Power Automate Community,

 

I have a really annoying problem. I'm trying to create a flow that sends Teams-users a private message over the Flow bot. I managed to get the flow going and it works great besides one thing.


The message I typed into the message field of the "Post message in chat or channel"-connector keeps getting reformatted every time I save the flow.

 

Some linebreaks keep getting removed, others stay as I wanted them. The "reformatting" behaviour is based on the input in a ofuscated but deterministic way: If I enter the message that is formatted the same, the reformatting result stays the same. If I change the input a little bit, the results greatly vary.

 

This obviously is a annyoing bug, did anyone have the same issues and maybe found a workaround? I tried different browsers, but that didn't change the behaviour

Thanks in advance

    Hi @Jnas 

     

    Looks like there is an issue with new designer. Pls save the flow & switch to classic designer:

    Pls try formatting the message after switching to classic designer.

     

    If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

     

    Thanks

    Hello @ManishSolanki,

    thank you for your suggestion. Your solution worked, the classic desginer allowed for stable changes to the messages body.
    Unfortunately I had to edit in in html, as it is not a wysiwyg box. The classic editor introduced also some other bugs I had to work around.

    In the end it all worked out. Thank you a lot!

    Are there any plans to fix this? It is continuing to cause my organization lots of issues in developing flows.
