Hi everyone,

I'm working with Microsoft Copilot Studio and I want to add multiple choice options (like buttons) dynamically in the conversation flow.

Currently, when designing the Copilot, it looks like we can only add fixed options manually at design time — but I need it to be dynamic. For example:

I want to read FAQs from a document or a database at runtime.
Then generate multiple choice options based on that data.
These options should be shown to the user during the chat.

Is there any workaround or best practice to achieve this?

Can we dynamically create questions/options inside a Copilot flow based on external data?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi @Suchit Chaudhari,

I know that it's been a while since you posted this question, but I just found a solution for the dynamic multiple choice options.

You can use a variable of Table type for it. Here I have an example of a variable to be used as multiple options (for your case, you can populate it with your FAQ's output, maybe after a generative answer step):

Then in the Identify input, set Options from a list variable:

.... and select the variable created in the previous step:

After testing the agent, this is the output:

Let me know if it works for you or if you need any additional help!
