Reaching out for assistance. I believe the issue is related to the recent update in power automate.

Specifically, I'm encountering error in Variable, SharePoint and Control related operations. Errors shows "unable to initialize operation.".
These operations works at first but fails when I open the flow the next day. Operations inside Conditions are also having same issue

Edit.
Everything works in classic design. using it as a solution

Thank you so much, I figured it was an issue with the new UI honestly. its a problem for many things. So you should be able to just save it in the old, leave it there and see that it stays fixed.

So the answer is to go back to the old UI, which I figured was it. I would try staying on that until they resolve the issue further

If you dont mind marking that post as the answer I appreciate it so others see it too.

The copy paste works like this (in the new ui, in the old it's different)

Right Click Copy

Then Right Click the + Sign and you will see it

Hi Michael,

1. Created a copy but same issue.

2. Going back to the old UI (Classic designer) solves the issue.

3. Swapping back again to new UI will bring back the issue. I tried copying the actions, but there is no paste option.

hi @RM-04040438-0

Ugg I haven't personally had this issue.

Can I ask a couple of things to try. They may not fix the issue, but I am hoping it will leading us to that permanent solution.

1. Can you make a copy of the Flow (use the Save As option) and see if the same thing happens.

If not and the copy works then it gives me some information to go on

2. Can you swap to the Old UI and see if the problem rectifies itself?

3. If swapping does fix it, I'dstill like to ... try one thing

--swap back to the new UI see if it stays fixed and save it

If after that you are golden grams woot get the milk (Lactaid free for me lol)

If after swapping back to the New its broken again can you try this:

a) for the two actions below, copy them (right click, copy)

b) after you copy them.. delete them

c) then paste them back in, in order of get items first

See if the problem goes away

I believe one of these actions will force a metadata update and fix it.

If so, can you please mark as the answer and maybe like it for others to find.

Thanks!!
