Variable not visible in the same topic, different steps

Posted on by 37

I have built a copilot, where i ask user for Type of Leave, and as you can see in the picture below, in this step the variable is visible:

But two steps lower, where I want to pass that variable to Power Automate, it is not visible:

This is a string variable, so the type matches Power Automate expectations. It was visible before, not sure what happened.

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Miljana,

     

    I've been having the same issue too which only started happening when I started working on CoPilot rather than the classic Chatbots from PVA. 

     

    The fix I've found is as follows:
    - Click on the variable that is not visible

    - Change 'Usage' to Global

    - It should now be visible in the list of variables, select it in the field you want it to be active.

    - Then switch it back to a topic variable if you don't want it to remain as a global variable. 

    - It should now be nested in the action and will automatically change to a topic variable.

     

    Please let me know if this helps :). Hopefully Microsoft realizes this error soon!
