Storing Dynamics Data or Json outside of Power Automate

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 467

We need to store quite a few pre-built json templates outside of powerapps in a dynamics entity.  As the flow runs it injects the json into the flow on the fly however the dynamic values are not recognized.  If you take the same json code and add to a compose while in edit mode the dynamic value are properly recognized.  Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Here is our json stored in the entity.1.png

 

Here we are injecting the json into a compose2.png

 

runtime outputs, notice how the dynamic values are not recognized and its just dumping it as text.3.png

 

And this is the same json dumped into a compose in edit mode. notice the dynamic values are working.4.png

    Hi @Dudditz 

     

    My understanding is this is not possible. So when in edit mode dynamic variables are mapped before the runtime. In your scenario you are trying to set during the runtime which will be passed as a text. If you look the peek code you can see some of the code which the designer sets. This behaviour is by design.  

     

    Lets see if others can explain more about this.

     

    Thanks

    Hi @Dudditz 

    I don't have an exact answer to your question. But it may be possible using x-ms-dynamic-schema. Check out the documentation to see if it makes sense: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/custom-connectors/openapi-extensions

     

    Please also look into the custom code feature: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/custom-connectors/write-code

    While I don't think custom code will help solve the current problem, I would suggest you to step back and see if what you are trying to do could be simplified using custom code.
