Change connection reference in bulk

Posted on by NielsSL

Hi,

I have a bunch of flows where I want to change the connection reference used for all Dataverse actions.

Is it possible to do this in bulk - or is the only way to go through every flow, and update the connection reference manually for each action?

I tried to delete the connection used by one of my connection references that I want to replace. When I open the flow I get this message, where I can choose the new connection reference.

Then I don't need to go through each Dataverse action in every flow - but I still need to open every flow and select the new connection reference.

Hi @Nielf

Do you have a solution to store all you flows?
It is afraid that connection references could only be updated manually currently.
Here is the official documents regarding the connection reference:
Use a connection reference in a solution - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn
Please note that when an action is added to a solution flow, Power Automate will try to reuse existing connection references from the current solution or other solutions before creating a new connection reference. To ensure that the connection reference is inside the same solution as the flow, create or add a connection reference in the same solution and reference that connection reference from the flow.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for the input, @v-peijunz-msft.

I guess my previous reply is the best solution at the moment. That saves you from going through every

I found that if you do a Save As with the existing flow, it will attempt to establish the connections automatically using what is available in the solution. If you have removed what isn't needed anymore, it should associate to the new connections. YMMV
