Posted on by Vinisz

Hi,

From Common data services (dynamics) , I want to retrieve the "Display name" of a field via flow.

I can retrieve the value set but not the "Display Name"

As you can see, this is a 2 options field.

Any Idea's ?

Hello,

In Flow use a List records action on the Leads entity. Set top count to 1 And Run flow

Now check the output of the List records action. These are all the fields you can return.

Yes, that is no problem, it will return all the fields for sure.
But what I want to have is the "Display name" of such a field (as shown in the screenshot)

Yes,

Using the list records is just for reference so you know what field stores the display name.

Josh, no, sorry, but that is not it.
It is not that a "field" holds the displayname.
I want to have the displayname of the field itself. (so that is an attribute I believe)
you can see it in the screenshot , for example:

The field is named "cr8bd_dealerlogin_col1" but the displayname of that field is "Dealerlogin_Col1"

Hi @Vinisz ,

Unfortunately, I am afraid that we could not get the Display name of the field in Power Automate via Common Data Service related feature. It seems that we only can check Name instead of Display Name in the body of List records/Get record action.

As an alternative workaround, you could click Edit data in Excel to get the Excel table which contains the data store in the specified entity.

The column name of the Excel table is Display name instead of Name.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
