Schedule Recurrence Advanced options

Posted on by Dos

Last week I created a cloud based flow with a daily recurrence and with hours of 8,9,10,11 and minutes 0,15,30,45.

This works fine but I now want to change this but the "advanced" options to change it do not appear.

The options do still show in the Code View:

Creating a new flow does not show these options either (as it did last week)

Creating a new flow (and changing to Classic editor) does show these options:

However, it will not let me change to the classic designer with the flow that I want to change the recurrence on.

Is this a broken feature? Or is this a feature MS are trying to remove (but have accidentally left still available in the Classic version). It was available in the New Designer last week (which is my preferred version of designer)

Is there another way to change the existing schedule (shown in the code view above) reduce the number of hours it cycles on?

Thanks in advance

If the options are not available, I would delete the trigger and add it back in. That should reset it to the default so you can configure it again.

@David_MA many thanks for taking the time to reply. Unfortunately, deleting the "Recurrence" action and then recreating it has the same flaw:

Can anyone confirm that they can see the "At these hours" and "At these minutes" options in the New Designer still?

@DJ_Jamba re: Switch the designer to classic...

Unfortunately clicking on the New Designer toggle switch doesn't do anything (it just stays in New Designer mode) :-(

I suspect, as I think that you are trying to allude to, that I should avoid using the New Designer mode in future. I may just need to reconstruct this flow in Classic (although it's been tested as working) and go through the Test stages again.

I'm surprised that no-one else has reported this as an issue though.

If you cannot switch out of new designer mode, try deleting your browser history and cache. That may also resolve the issue you are having.

Hi @Dos

I just want to be clear. You are saying you no longer see what's in Red? Or you do not know how to end 8,9,10 and minutes?

Thank you all for your suggestions.

Today's "blip" on the European server seemed to change Power Automate's behaviour with my flow. Most importantly I am now able to change to Classic mode and make the changes I want to in the Recurrence action.

@David_MA - It would seem that browser settings were hindering being able to switch to Classic mode (and not necessarily the break in service). Still doesn't explain why this feature is no longer present in the New designer (but I'm sure that'll get addressed in the future). For now I'll revert to using Classic.

@Michael E. Gernaey - these options are NOT visible in the Recurrence action (advanced section) when viewed in New designer mode. They are visible in the Code view (which is uneditable) and visible and maintainable after switching to Classic mode.

@DJ_Jamba - Classic it is
