You’re offline. This is a read only version of the page.
I have 4 automatic flows that I need to copy a specific part of and paste in a manual flow but the clipboard just won't work. Like at all.
I've seen this issue addressed previously here: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Copy-Paste-actions-between-Flows-not-working/td-p/685428 but none of the solutions have worked.
I've previously been able to copy and paste between two separate flows, no problem. I have tried opening them in the same browser window, in three different browsers, clearing the cache in all, logging in and out of Power Automate, nothing is working. It is incredibly time consuming to replicate the same structure across all the flows I need to and this feature should absolutely not be breaking like this.
Whenever I copy an action, it shows in the source flow but isn't accessible in the destination flow nor in Notepad. There seems to be something wrong with the actual copying of the flows themselves and I can't figure out what it is. It seems like it's locked within the source and isn't being made accessible outside the window.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi there @kudorje,
I would recommend you open up a new question on the forum. The ability to copy and paste did have a bug for a short space of time 18 months ago and this is what this answer relates to I believe.
If you are experiencing something more recent, you should see what the community can offer you as a solution based on their current experience. I’ve previously used scopes to copy large sections from flows between browsers using ctr+v to get them into my clipboard in Power Automate. A new post will get the attention of more recently active users.

Is there some Solution now ?
Where is the low code solution to this problem?
Hi @KSean6 / @Anonymous
This works for me:
{"id":"5e1d9e7d-5a6d-4b91-b2f0-65e0d4d1b5ae","brandColor":"#8C3900","connectorDisplayName":"Control","isTrigger":false,"operationName":"DamoBird365","operationDefinition":{"type":"OpenApiConnection","inputs":{"host":{"connectionName":"shared_teams_1","operationId":"PostMessageToConversation","apiId":"/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apis/shared_teams"},"parameters":{"poster":"Flow bot","location":"Group chat","body/recipient":"19:c9cbc75c41f349fa99955977f145421d@thread.v2","body/messageBody":"<p>we received a record on behalf of <strong>Company</strong> and the deal failed to create.<br>\n<br>\n<strong>Execution ID</strong>: @{variables('ExecutionID')}</p>"},"authentication":"@parameters('$authentication')"},"metadata":{"operationMetadataId":"ebaa808a-a757-4965-bfac-76613c7b1929"}}}
Saying that though, my dev tenant got the fix today, so hopefully it is making it's way to you soon too - only a week to go worse case. Fingers crossed you are back up and running soon.

Hi @DamoBird365,
I have too many personas . . . 1 for each of the voices in my head 😂
I attempted to paste your action and it did not load into the clipboard.
Here's a sample of one I am attempting to use on mine:
{
"inputs": {
"host": {
"connectionName": "shared_teams_1",
"operationId": "PostMessageToConversation",
"apiId": "/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apis/shared_teams"
},
"parameters": {
"poster": "Flow bot",
"location": "Group chat",
"body/recipient": "19:c9cbc75c41f349fa99955977f145421d@thread.v2",
"body/messageBody": "<p>
we received a record on behalf of <strong>Company</strong> and the deal failed to create.<br>\n<br>\n<strong>Execution ID</strong>: @{variables('ExecutionID')}</p>"
},
"authentication": "@parameters('$authentication')"
},
"metadata": {
"operationMetadataId": "ebaa808a-a757-4965-bfac-76613c7b1929"
}
}
I appreciate to understand your experience and can't wait for Microsoft to make the fix b/c this bug is unbearable.
Sean
