Approval Details Truncated in Power Automate

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 7

I have a flow that contains an approval that has not been modified in several months.  For the approvers, I use the detail section to pass along instructions and links to tools.  Just yesterday, I noticed that when I open my Approval in Power Automate, the details section is being truncated. When I view the same Approval in the email message, the full Details section is there.  

 

Here is a screenshot with the email and the Approval screen in Power Automate.

Is anyone else experiencing this or does anyone know a workaround?

    Our company uses the details tab on the respond panel frequently. Now that you can no longer scroll through the details and the details are truncated, it is far more painful to review workflows created by power automate. This was a terrible update. I hope they fix it soon.

    This is a new "feature" from Microsoft. See this thread:

    Unfortunately my response to them will be the same as to  you 😞 Nothing we can really do.
