Critical: Condition and Switch actions fail with ‘has no inputs’ after designer update

Posted on by Illya_Smith

Multiple flows are failing after a recent designer update.

Conditions and Switch actions show as configured but at runtime fail with “has no inputs”.

Symptoms:

Compose actions clearly output correct values (e.g. Forms choice = “New” / “Update”)
Condition and Switch actions referencing those outputs fail immediately
“Edit in advanced mode” is no longer available
“Peek code” is greyed out
Rebuilding the control actions does not resolve the issue
Multiple flows are failing after a recent designer update.
The issue persists even when values are confirmed via Compose and affects both Condition and Switch control action
Rebuilding the Flow from scratch does not resolve the issue
This appears to be a designer/schema regression, not a data issue, and is blocking production workflows.

This appears to be a Power Automate designer regression where Condition and Switch actions lose their input bindings at runtime, despite appearing correctly configured in the UI. The issue persists across rebuilt flows and is not data-related. Temporary mitigation includes using variables or manual expressions.

Hi, hope you're doing well.

This does sound like a designer/runtime mismatch rather than anything wrong with your logic.

A couple of things that have worked in this situation:

Open the flow in classic designer (if you still have the option via URL tweak) and check if the actions render properly there

Export the flow as a package and re-import it. This sometimes forces the schema to rebuild cleanly

As a quick test, recreate just the failing Condition/Switch in a different branch (not inline replacement)

Hi Illya,

Are the flows working correctly in case you switch back to the classic designer? Can you share details how to reproduce this issue?
