Issue with Copied Flow on Condition

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 629

I have the below flow that is returning the following error.

 

Flow save failed with code 'InvalidTemplate' and message 'The template validation failed: 'The inputs of template action 'Create_Item_2' at line '1 and column '5257' cannot reference action 'Update_Item'. Action 'Update_Item' must either be in 'runAfter' path or within a scope action on the 'runAfter' path of action 'Create_Item_2', or be a Trigger.'.'.

Both sides of the flow are identical apart from one email address added on the False side. Any ideas what this would relate too?

    Hi @jamescosten 

     

    It seems you have copied the actions from "True" branch to "False" branch. So, the right branch is referencing some output properties of 'Update item' action which should be replaced with output of 'Update item 2' action.

     

    Just remove all parameters from 'Create item 2' action and readd those by referencing from the output of 'Update item 2' action.

     

     

     

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