Copied flows inheriting code?

Posted on by cfnwfwmd

I use a flow template that copies files from my File System (when created) and pastes them to a Sharepoint location. I have a set of separate directories where files need to be copied, so I've copied and saved a previous flow and manually changed folder, like below:

I didn't notice any change in performance, but I noticed all of the previous folder paths were stored in the xml when I peeked the code:

I'm not really sure what's happening here, is the flow actually querying these locations? What's the best way to save a clean copy of the flow to replicate?

Hi @cfnwfwmd

Can you please explain the issue? Is the Flow failing or the files not being stored?

No, the flow is working correctly. The replication of the paths from the copied flow concerns me though. I don't understand how it affects performance.

Just to be clear, I make a copy of the flow I know works and manually change the path in Step 1. The flow operates correctly, but it looks like it's inheriting paths of the previous flows every time I make a copy. However, this is only obvious when you look at the code. I'm not sure if this is intentional and I don't know how this will affect performance or my on-premises gateway.
