I am getting an error that the file doesn’t exist. When I select the correct file, the parameters get deleted, and I have to add them all over again. Any idea how to avoid this?

    You can avoid this issue by making the template file name derive dynamically and using the dynamicFileSchema field to populate your template. However, you need to get the IDs for this.
     
    Check out this blog post ‘A Complete Guide to Creating and Populating Word Templates with Power Automate’ which explains how to handle the dynamic file schema when the file input for the template is based on dynamic content
