Maximum number of identity column variants for a single table exceeded.

Hi all,

 

I am using "List rows present in a table" and then "Update a row" to update all rows with same Group. I have a Column called "Group" to identify the groups, and a Column "Email_1" I want to update. My table is like the following:

NameGroupEmail_1Email_2
JohnANANA
PeterBNANA
DicksonBNANA

 

I am using PowerApps to trigger the flow, and I want to update all "Email_1" for Group B to the value "Sent".

 

In "List rows present in a table", I entered this table and  enter { Group eq "B" } to Filter Query.

 

Then I added an action "Update a row" and select "Name" as Key Column, then add dynamic content "Name" from the "List rows present in a table" as Key value. But it gave the following error:

{
 "status": 400,
 "message": "Maximum number of identity column variants for a single table exceeded. Current '2', Maximum '2'. Up to '2' column name variants should be in use across workflows for one particular table.xxxxx",
 "error": {
 "message": "Maximum number of identity column variants for a single table exceeded. Current '2', Maximum '2'. Up to '2' column name variants should be in use across workflows for one particular table."
 },
 "source": "xxxx"
}

 

If the key value I select "Group" instead of "Name", it will only update the first row of group B.

 

I don't know how to fix this problem, please help! Thanks!

    I moved the column "Group" to first column and the flow ran successfully for once, then I run it again and it gave the same error. How? Is it just a bug of Power Automate?
