Is there a way to control the visibility of the Flow run options in the command bar?

Posted on by MG-03022008-0
I'm trying to edit the flow run option in the command bar to make it so one of the flows under the Runs option is visible or invisible depending on the value of a choice field. So for example here, I want to make the flow right below "Run" visible or invisible depending on a choice field. Is this even possible? 


I just want to confirm if this is even doable. Since when I go to edit the Command bar and select Flow, it says it's read-only and I can't do anything with it. If this is not doable, I can use a custom button instead. Thank you.

    Option 1: Use Command Bar Customization (Recommended)

    You can use the Ribbon Workbench in XrmToolBox to conditionally show or hide buttons.

    Steps:

    1. Install XrmToolBox and add the Ribbon Workbench plugin.

    2. Open your solution in Ribbon Workbench.

    3. Find the Command Button for the specific Flow under "Run."

    4. Attach custom Enable Rules using JavaScript.

    Sample JavaScript Rule

     
    javascript
    function showFlowButton(primaryControl) {
    var formContext = primaryControl;
    var choiceFieldValue = formContext.getAttribute("your_choice_field_name").getValue();

    // Return true to show the flow button; false to hide it
    return choiceFieldValue === 100000000; // Adjust based on your choice values
    }
    1. Add the function to the Enable Rule for the Flow button.

    Option 2: Use a Custom Canvas App and Navigate from Model-Driven App

    If you're open to using a Canvas App as a gateway for controlling which Flows are visible:

    • Filter visible flows dynamically based on conditions from the model-driven data.

    Option 3: Manage Conditions Directly in Power Automate

    If the flow itself should only run under certain conditions, you could handle that logic inside Power Automate by:

    1. Checking the value of the Choice field inside the flow.
    2. Returning a message if the flow shouldn't proceed.
