I'm trying to use the send mail action and I now don't have the option to enter any text into the To box. There used to be a "custom value" option where I could specify listing of email address or a dynamic value. Why is this now missing? thanks

I just had the same issue and have finally found a solution.

It was the setting "Experimental features" set to on. here is the the thread where I found the solution: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/I-Found-A-Bug/Power-Automate-missing-Forms-Custom-Form-ID/td-p/687646

Just a thought - check to make sure that your connections are valid and don't need to be "fixed".

thanks @ScottShearer

I tried clearing data on Chrome. Also tried Edge and Firefox and issue is still there.

It is the strangest thing. My Sharepoint actions do not have the custom value option for the site address either. I can only pick from the drop down now. It was there a couple days ago.

I get some browser messages that don't make sense to me.

@bmoyer

I can't seem to replicate your issue - I can enter text or select from Dynamic properties.

You may want to close your browser and then reopen and try again.
