Trigger when dataverse row is modified keeps triggering even if data has not actually changed

Hi,

The Dataverse "when a row is modified" trigger allows you to specify the column that has been modified. It works fine when a row is updated by a human from the UI (it's triggered only when the data is changed), but when a row is updated from another flow, it always triggers even if the column data has not actually changed.

Anyone else can confirm this behavior? If so this should need a fix quickly because it breaks complex scenarios using many flows.

    Ok I had an answer from Microsoft Support, this is by design: since the action "update a row" in power automate will always update the record, it will trigger an update event on this column.

    So is there any way to limit the number of times the flow is triggered in your case?  I have a similar issue where the row gets update 4 times by a power app and the flow is triggered about 20 times once for each column.
