Dynamic content picker missing dynamic content from previous steps

This article provides a resolution for the issue that you might see No dynamic content available in dynamic content picker.

Applies to:   Power Automate
Original KB number:   4552004

Symptoms

Some users are unable to see all the dynamic content from previous steps while attempting to add dynamic content to a parameter. The dynamic content picker might show that there's No dynamic content available.

Cause

This can occur for one of two reasons:

  1. When using a trigger that supports Split On and the Split On option is turned on.

  2. Or when the type of the dynamic content might differ from the data type of the parameter. This is expected behavior as the dynamic content picker filters the dynamic content based on the data type of the parameter. For instance, the dynamic content picker for a string parameter will show a filtered list of dynamic content that is strings.

Resolution

If using a trigger that supports Split On, fix this issue by turning off the Split On option for the trigger card. To do so, follow the steps below:

  1. First, on the trigger card, selected the three dots (...).

  2. Then, select Settings.

  3. Then, turn off the Split on setting and select Done.

The dynamic content should now be available automatically in the dynamic content picker.

If the dynamic content picker is filtering by the parameter data type, there are two possible workarounds.

  1. The first workaround is to search for the dynamic content in the dynamic content picker. This will override the data type filtering.

  2. The second workaround is to use the Compose action card, which will produce an output of type any.
