Having trouble with Run After configuration preventing a succeeding step from running

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 22

I have a flow in which the success or failure of one step in an Apply to Each loop should not prevent the following step from running, however, all subsequent steps seem to get skipped regardless.  Does anyone have any ideas?

 

The logic looks like this

 

Apply to Each (excel table) row

{

   Add to Group [rowUser UPN]

      {

       On success: set rowOutcome = "Group load successful"

       On fail: set rowOutcome = "Group load failed"

       }

Update Excel (current) row

     {

       [Outcome]= [rowOutcome]

     }

}

 

I get the correct run-after action for the Add to Group action (success or fail), but nothing after that runs.  What gives?

I would expect the compose + update steps to run regardless of the prior run-after branches but the compose step fails and I do not get the rowOutcome updated.

 

Compose step Run-After is configured as follows

The result in Run History is

Originally I had no Run After configured for this step, since the outcome of the previous steps does not matter, I want the compose and succeeding update to run regardless, but it skipped in that test too.

    If the Compose step fails that means that there is an issue in the Compose step, can you check the flow history run and add screenshot for it?

    Screenshots of the compose Run-after config and results are added to my post
