Posted on by ericmsilver

When I start PAD under variable activity I do not see the option to Create List

Is there a reason why I do not have the List Connector?

Hi @ericmsilver

You might have enabled power fx before creating the flow

So that some activities may not be appeared as the functionalities done by the power fx function.....

If you want this to be achieved by activity

Create a new flow in which power fx is not enabled and copy paste all the activities in to the new flow.....

Hope this helps

If you still wish to create a list in a Power FX-enabled flow, you can utilize the following approach.
There is no such create list would be available here instead you can use "set variable" action and create list with syntax like this "= [1,2,3,4] "

Hi @ericmsilver ,

You have enabled the Power FX Option while creating a new flow as shown in below image 1;

When you enable the power FX option you will get only these actions under variable as shown in below image 2:

If you dont enable power Fx then you can see all the action regarding the list in variables as shown in image 3:

Interesting. I had a got feeling that enabling PowerFX caused this. Question is why removing Table from Menu?

Hi @ericmsilver ,

Yes it because of enabling Power Fx only while creating the flow.

As per it’s a limitation when you enable Power Fx.
