How to manage MS Forms with different Power Platform environment?

How do you manage MS Forms with Power Automate?

 

Let's talk about MS Forms first - ideally, there should be a separate forms for Dev and Prod. Now for example you already have a form in Prod but a change is required. Do you change the Dev first and then apply it to Prod when tested? Seems risky because the 'change' is manual and that 'change' in Prod is not tested since it was the Dev's one that was tested.

Now, do you 'promote' the form in Dev and dispose the current Prod one? This will result to a new url - which should be communicated to all users which is not always easy.

 

Now add the complication of a Power Automate flow triggered by a form? When a flow is developed against the form in Dev and then you need to deploy that flow to the Prod environment, how do you go about it? Sure link to the form can be in an environment variable but if in this case the flow is referencing to a different form (in Prod now), references to the form within the flow may not be valid anymore?

 

If the question is not clear, please let me know which part. Basically, I just want to understand the approach of having a Dev and Prod environment for my Forms-Flow solution. Thanks!

    Hi have you found an answer to your question. We are having the same issue. Ideally we want to build a flow in dev and then release to production to capture MS Form submission. So this will sit outside of the default environment

    No, I haven't. I think the realisation here is that if we want to use MS Form with Power Platform for a long term solution and where it will keep on evolving/changing, we need to shift to Power Apps instead.
