New designer can't be used for this flow yet.

Posted on by 25

Hi,

I've got a flow used by an app.

Both flow and app are under an unmanaged solution together with the connection reference required.

However when I edit the flow I receive the mesage "New designer can't be used for this flow yet." (Reason use a connection instead a connection reference) and is not possible to switch to new designer.

But as you can see in the attached image the flow uses a connection reference that is the one that I added to the solution.

How could I solve this a switch to flow new designer editor?

Thank you

    Hi @pwaloval,

    There are certain Power Automate actions and configurations that are not yet compatible with the new designer. Although Microsoft is working on updating the new designer to achieve full parity with the classic designer, workflows involving these elements will still need to be edited using the classic designer.

    Here is our official doc related this limit:

    hi @v-qiaqi-msft 

    Thank you for your answer.

    More than use new designer, I'm interested in to know why Power Automate tells me that I'm not using a connection reference when it seems I do.

    ¿How can I change my flow to using a connection reference for sure?

    Hi @pwaloval,

     

    I'm very new to this technology, i was also facing the same issue and i changed the Other connect reference to Connection reference in one of the sharepoint action, then i can open flow in the new designer.
