"Run Only User Connections" Box Doesn't Appear, Error: Update Child Flow to not use Run-Only User Connections

Hello!

There are many posts on this topic, but I haven’t found one that covers my scenario…

I have a parent flow that runs a child flow. When I attempt to save the parent flow, I get the following error:

Update the child flow for action ‘Run_a_Child_Flow’ to not use ‘run-only user’ connections.

So my next logical step would be to enter the dashboard for the child flow, and look for the “Run-Only User Connections” box to edit the connections and fix this issue. However, when I open the dashboard, I can’t find this box. Screenshot below, where I identify where I expected the “Run-Only User Connections” box to be.

FYI: The child flow already has an action for “Respond to a Power App or Flow,” as the final action.

    @nmasmo What is your trigger?

    The "Manage Run-Only User" would only support in the flow with trigger "Manually trigger a flow" or "For a selected item" or "Power Apps v2".

    @IVZ_PTC  I did not find a solution, but in my case I was able to work around the issue by turning my triple nested flow into a double nested flow. I.e. instead of a child flow of a child flow of a parent flow, I changed it to simply a child flow of a parent flow.
