Using a variable with "Add a new row from selected environment"

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by novarse 31
Hello,
This is similar to a question I posted earlier (https://community.powerplatform.com/forums/thread/details/?threadid=40ea16ef-f0b8-ef11-b8e8-7c1e521c6682) where I'm trying to use the Dataverse action "Add a new row from selected environment" with a variable that represents the environment the solution is deployed to, so it can be dynamically used.

When selecting the environment and table manually the table's fields appear so I can populate them:


But when I use a variable for the environment and type in the table, no fields show so how can I save field values to the new row?


Thanks in advance

    It seems like this action doesn't support using these type of variables. It is unable to load the dynamic input schema. In cloud flows this is possible, so it seems like a limitation or a bug on the Microsoft side.
     
    As a workaround you could interact with the Dataverse Web API instead
     
    Use the Invoke a Web Service action for that.
