How to stop business unit from defaulting to the owner's business unit?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 359

Hello. I have a record that has a business unit field. I'm noticing that no matter what I do, it will always default to the business unit of the owner of the record. I noticed that this was not occurring for one table so I'm wondering if there is a setting I need to change to get this work. Thank you.

    Hello. I am setting the business unit in Flow. It is the correct one but when I check the record after, it is still using the business unit from the Owner. This is not occurring for one table but is occurring for the rest.Screenshot 2023-06-28 143308.png

    Is this sharepoint or dataverse? does the field have a default value set up in the table? (in the ones that are broken - but not in the one that works right!)

    Hello, did you find something about this issue? I have the same case when I am trying to change the business unit for a user, all the rows owned by this user are changing the Bussiness unit with it and I don't want this. 
    Any ideas?
