Create Flow action fails when re-creating a flow with a child flow

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by 20

Hi All,

 

I have run into an issue while building out my new flow that I would like some guidance on.

 

Background: We are trying to setup a simple automated process that would allow our users to move their email based approvals process to SharePoint. As part of that, I have created a site template that deploys list and libraries that the users can use on their site. The final action in the site script also triggers my instant flow with a HTTP request trigger.

 

This builder flow is then meant to replicate a bunch of flows that I have setup inside a solution on the same Power platform environment for the new user site. I also have child flows inside the solution. 

 

I am able to update the Flow definition to work with the new Site URL (taken from the trigger) and Library/List GUID (all other inputs to Create flow look good). However, the Create Flow action fails with the following error:

 

BadRequest: code":"ChildFlowsUnsupportedForNonSolutionFlows","message":"Child Flows is only supported for Flows stored in a solution

 

Is there a way to resolve this? Can we use the Create flow action to re-create a flow if that flow calls child flows?

    Hello, the error is saying that you child flows are only supported within the solution, so the flows that are replicated by the script are those created within a solution?
