Deployment Solution with pipelines - Flow not updated

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2,429 Super User 2025 Season 2

Hello,

 

I came across a strange habit of the pipeline feature.

We have a solution with a condition where we have to compare a string.

Unfortunately the solution containing that flow is updated fine in our dev envr but once deployed using the pipeline everything is updated except that specific condition. I changed the flow trigger and even that step is updated and deployed properly.

 

We tried patching solutions, multiple versions of deployment, import export but nothing seems to work.

Our solution was to create a new solution only containing the updated flow and than using the pipeline. Surprisingly that worked.

 

Does somebody know when pipeline face such errors. We have solutions with multiple flows as usual and I don't want to check each step and flow if the pipeline worked as expected.

 

I have the same question (0)

    Does the original flow in the target environment have an unmanaged layer? This would prevent it from updating.

    Hi @Jondoesflow,

     

    yes it has. Could you shortly explain me where it comes from and what it does?

    After that I probably can remove it or refresh the solution to solve the problem.

    Is there a microsoft learn page or something for that topic?

    So an unmanaged layer means that someone has edited that flow in the target environment and made a change to it and saved it. 

    this adds the unmanaged layer. 

    best practice is to make the changes and deploy to target environments as managed solutions as you are doing. 

    if you remove the unmanaged layer and then redeploy that should do the trick. The unmanaged layer effectively stops any changes to the flow coming from the source environments deployment to target.
