Paste within expressions removed?

Posted on by konsto

I noticed that a recent update removed the possibility to paste text/code within the expression editor in the new designer. It still works in the old one, but why would you remove such a basic feature? It makes working with PowerAutomate unnecessarily complicated. Is there a way to re-enable this functionality?

Thanks in advance!

Hi , @konsto

Yeah. it can not paste in the new designer in my side !😅

This should be a recent change. You can first create your flow in the old designer as a workaround.

And you can post the idea to Power Automate:

Thank you so much, I wasn't able to find this. As stupid as this limitation is, at least there's a simple workaround! 🙂
