Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi there,

I've not worked with solutions before, but I got asked to update one and need some help. There's a parent flow and a child flow; I updated the child flow successfully (in the live production environment), but when I updated the parent flow, things went wrong. It was a simple addition of one extra action and emboldened by the success of updating the child flow, I went ahead and did it. The error happens as soon as you try to run the solution, which is done on a selected item in a SharePoint library using the Automate menu. "Something went wrong...Client > Backend Request Header..." (screenshot attached). My guess is that I have to publish a new version of the solution. Can I do that just in the production environment?

Thanks,

Tom

Building flows

hey @TomBenjamin

Do you have a development environment where this flow is in a solution ?

If I were you, I would go there and create a new solution, import the exisiting flows that you need to change, and then export as a managed solution and import in UAT and production.

Making changes directly in production is bad application lifecycle practice, can lead to unmanaged layers and might be tricky to unpick later on.

If you do not see the changes, when you import the solution from development to UAT/Prod, go to the flows in the target environment, click on the three dots and click on See solution layers, if there is an unmanaged layer, select it and delete it and your changes from the solution import will be visible.
