Can I use a flow bi-directionally to update duplicate CDS entities?

Just thought I'd better check my logic here.

I have two entities which are identical except that one column in one entity contains financial information. I have done this to keep the info. confidential & have set appropriate permissions on each entity.

Can I use flow/power automate to update entity 1-->entity 2, whenever a field changes in entity 1, as well as entity 2-->entity 1 whenever a field changes in entity 2, or are there glitches that I'm not anticipating?

I'm pretty sure I can, but thought I'd check with those who have more experience,

thx!

Hi @Medoomi ,
Probably better a Power Automate Community question, but I can tell you from my experience at least that at least one of the Flows has to be on an Interval timer rather than "when an item is updated" or they will loop forever.

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

@Medoomi

Agreed with @WarrenBelz. This question is best asked in the Power Automate forums.

Thx so much @WarrenBelz
Hmm, yes, silly me, I hadn't thought of looping. I'll ask in the Power Automate community.
