Sensitive text won't load when flow is activated by a cloud flow.

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello Power Automate experts. 

I have a desktop flow that has to run once a month, but when I trigger the desktop flow by the cloud flow it can't put the sensitive value into a password box. Whenever I trigger the flow by PAD itself it runs fine, so the problem occurs when the cloud flow is used as the trigger. It is a must that the value is kept as hidden.

Does anyone have a solution for this? 

 

Kind Regards

    In the beginning of the flow, store the input variable into a normal variable (which can also be made sensitive).
