Weird behavior saving flow with Excel online containing dynamic path - Is it a bug?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by
Hello guys,
 
I'm having a problem when I'm trying to save an specific cloud flow and I need some help.
 
This flow contains an action to list rows of an Excel file in a specific path at Sharepoint, which's created one step before it.
 
 
And the folder path which the file it's created:
 
 
 
 
Thats not a big deal since we have dynamic outputs from the previus "Create file" action, but the problem starts when I try to save this workflow, I'm receiving this error message:
 
 
 
That's not an normal error message because I have a bunch of other flows that have this same following steps, but only this one raise that error message.
 
The way I found to solve this issue: I manually created one Excel file on that folder with the same name that would be createt if the flow was triggered
 
And after that without modify anything on the current flow, I was able to save it
 
 
 
 
So, is that a bug? If it is a bug, how can I report this?

Any of you have faced some similar problems? The problem it's not on excel action parameters bc this same step it's used on other flows and the result of it occur as expected after saving that flow and delete the file I've manually created.
