[CoE Starter Kit - BUG] SYNC HELPER - Cloud Flows -> HELPER - Maker Check - failing due to no maker id coming back from flow

[Rajeshgn053]

Does this bug already exist in our backlog?

• I have checked and confirm this is a new bug.

Describe the issue

SYNC HELPER - Cloud Flows is triggered to Insert/Update an Flow. After updating the FlowOwnerID to Derived owner, it will pass through "Maker check - Derived Owner" action to identify, whether its an orphan/System/Valid user.

In our case the MakerId is set Blank, since both FLow Owner & Maker details are not able to fetch. Though this MakerId is passed as Blank along with MakerDisplayName as Blank. The output is coming as "System" user. Which is leading to update the Maker column details with blanks FlowOwnerID . And hence, its failing due to the blank reference entries under Make columns. Please check the series of screenshots that justifies the problem.

Expected Behavior

The child flow "HELPER - Maker Check", should return the user response as Orphan user, for MakerId blank value. In this case, the logic will pick the proper "Upsert" action to avoid updating Maker fields.

FYI - From last 24hrs.. We see ~1300 errors occurred, with same issue. I dont see any changes done on the related flows.

One more observation - We are getting this error for flows that are in "Stopped" state. The MakerId is expecting property called "creator/objectid" from "Get Flow as Admin" action, which is missing on all these instances/errors..

Thanks for the good detective work, looks like a product change in what is returned for those cases. I think the fix will have to be like this. Can you please test if for me? Its a rather big change for local fixing so I understand if its too difficult. I dont have any repros of this in my tenant though.

In SYNC HELPER - Cloud Flows

1. Add a new variable isOrphan, default to false
   

2. Add a new condition : length(variables('FlowOwnerID')) is equal to 0
   Move the current call to the helper under "if no", and update the variable with its findings
   Under "if yes" set the isOrphan varable to true
   

3. Change the Check if Orphan condition to use the variable instead.

Thanks again for posting and please do let me know if you are able to test and if this resolves. If so I will make the same change to apps after a little more testing on my side and ship with next release.

[Rajeshgn053]

Sure Jenefer. I need to reproduce the issue in Dev & apply the fix that you recommended.. Keep you posted, once its done...

[Rajeshgn053]

Hi Jenefer, The fix is working...
Please apply the same on next release & let us know the details..

[Jenefer-Monroe]
