Dynamic Content menu not showing SQL query results

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by AltaherEmhemed 12

I made a flow that is triggered by a MS Form and runs a SQL query

then parses the returning JSON results

then creates a CSV table

then sends the results as csv attachment in an email to the form responder

 

It all works fine (flow pictured below)

Then I wanted to make several different flows with different SQL queries.

So I made a copy of the first flow with a different name.

Now the SQL Query results no longer show in the dynamic content menu (pictured below)

Bearing in mind when I create a fresh new flow, the SQL results show up just fine in the dynamic content menu.

Is there something I'm doing wrong or is this a bug in Power Automate?

    Did you run the copied flow at least once?  I've seen this kind of thing when working with database sources in the past.  Power Automate doesn't know what the schema is until after the query is run once.

    I just found a fix.

    If I removed the dynamic content from the SQL query itself, the "query results" show up just fine in the input field of the "Parse JSON" action.

    Then I go back to the SQL query and add the dynamic content back to the query.

     

    It's likely a bug in MS Power Automate
