Power Automate Flow does not open anymore

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hello,

 

So it looks like my flow saved with an error and because of this error I cannot open it anymore.

 

I also cannot open the details page to restore an older version, since it also throws me the same error.

 

Error: request failed with unhandled exception of type 'TemplateValidationException' and message: 'The template trigger and action names must be unique. Found duplicate names: 'Set_variable_1'.'.
 
When I try to open flow runs to restore it, it gives me this issue.

Please help since it was a very important and big flow.

    What happens when you click on Edit Flow?

    Hello Scott! Thanks for your reply. This happens when I click edit.

    @JulioKQ 

    I'm out of ideas on this - I suggest that you open a support ticket with Microsoft.

    You can't export or edit or do anything else.....

    I know this doesn't help now, but I am in the habit of exporting important Flows when I put them into production and each time I make edits thereafter.  If I run into issues, I can always "restore" my Flow from the export.

    I would try exporting the flow and then import it again to see if you can then edit it that way. If you can, then you can fix the variables with the duplicate names and put the copy into production and delete the broken one. Hopefully you don't have too many instances of the broken flow running. Good luck.

    Hey, did you happen to get a solution for this?
    The same happened here and at around the same time.
