Is it possible to update the description (on the home page of a flow, under Details) of a flow within the flow itself?

Posted on by tgraham 73

Hello, I'd like to use the description field (found on the home page of a flow, where the owners, connectors, etc. are displayed) to keep run-only users updated on what the latest output of the flow is. Is this possible? My flow is outputting some simple text that it posts in SharePoint. I'm wondering if I could update the description field of the flow itself with that same text? I've seen the "Update Flow" action under the Power Automate Management connector, but it doesn't appear to have the option to update the flow's description.
