I'm building a somewhat lengthy flow that grabs data from a SharePoint list several times (different ODATA filters each time). After grabbing the list data, it then chews on it before firing off appropriate emails to appropriate people. This scheduled flow has been working for a while.
Now, I have some new functionality I'd like to build into the flow. However, how can I build and test this new functionality without running the entire flow? While testing my new/edited flow bits, I don't want it firing off those emails to people.
Whoa, easy there, Alice. I didn't have a chance to read Reza's response until just now. I fully intend to mark it as the solution, but hounding people about it after only a few hours is not helpful.
Hi @Anonymous ,
As @RezaDorrani provided, you could refer to the link to copy flow components from one flow to another with Clipboard in flow.

Hi @Anonymous
You can copy and paste across your Flows

@RezaDorraniThat might work. Copying the flow, removing the "email this person" bits, and then testing the new stuff in the copy is something I considered. Is there a way to copy flow components from one flow to another? Otherwise, I would need to build my changes in the disabled copy, test them, and then build them from scratch again in the original (live) flow. Seems like a lot of duplicated effort.
Hi @Anonymous
There is currently no option in Flow to disable code execution
You can make a copy of your flow and make updates and test and remove the other parts
Flow also has the option now to Copy to clipboard so you can copy parts of your flow and temporarily move it to an if condition which will never execute
