Dynamic content not showing

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 23

In a number of my flows I have to send an email, the body of which contains dynamic content. If I need to go back and alter that email, no dynamic content is showing, but a CTRL+A, CTRL+C and pasting the result into notepad shows the content in there. The email body is as I expect. Why is it not showing in PowerAutomate - it's obviously there?

    Can you post a screen shot of what you are seeing?

    Yes of course - here is the anonymised email part of the flow:

    It appears as though you are using a Send an email from a Shared Mailbox action.  I suggest exiting out of the flow and closing your browser.  Then re-open the Flow and see if the issue has been resolved.

    Thank you for that suggestion, but this is a recurring issue on more than one flow. I've closed and reopened the flow many times, but it is consistently as shown. It happens on both Send an email from shared mailbox and a simple send an email (v2)

    Can you test in a different browser?

    Are you using a Windows PC or a tablet of some type?

    I'm using a Windows 11 PC. I have Edge and Chrome available at my workplace, and get the same issue with both. A colleague is seeing the same issue at another location.

    Thank you for your help.

    Following on from this, I have installed Firefox, and see the same issue. I have also tested it on a windows 10 machine, with the same result.

    @clareq63 

    Any chance you are using an older action that has been deprecated?

    I don't think so, it occurs in all flows that have a send email action, the simplest of which is when a form is submitted, send email, a two step flow.

    same issue here. I noticed P. Automate updated the UI. I wonder if it broke something.
