Feature request - "Start from here" when debugging - Power Automate Desktop

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi

 

I am really missing the feature "Start from here" when debugging my PAD flows! It is a pain having to debug from the beginning of a flow every single time. Even more so, it would be great, if all variables would not reset, once starting to debug!

The Start from here, was available in Winautomation already.

 

Thanks
Ghita

    I agree.

    It's really painful especially with bigger flows and loops

    Hello,

     

    This is indeed a very useful feature that has already been added to the short-term roadmap of Power Automate Desktop. It is expected to be available in one of the following monthly releases, within Q1 2021.

    This is available. Couldn't tell you when it was implemented so assume it was as expected. I can see this option when right clicking a command.
