Hi All,
 
I have a scenario, where we are removing few fields from the system and we wanna use some other fields instead of those, so is there any way to check, like in which power automate those fields are being used?
Like we can generally check the dependencies, but there I am not able to track the power automate regarding dependency.
 
Please suggest any way to check.

    Himanshu You can add multiple flows to a Dataverse Solution (i.e. don't use a Flow solution).

    Due to limitation with the current system, when you check the dependency using solution, it will not show any dependency if the field is used in power automate.

    Hi Fubar,
     
    I got your point, Is there any way to bulk export(all power Automates), because we have so many power automates at our end.

    Not possible.

    You need to manually prepare the details.

    Not really.  The work around is to package up the Flows in a Solution, export it and then unzip it, each Flow will be a file with JSON in it, then text search in the files for the schema name (Notepad++ has a find in files where you can point it at a directory, believe Visual studio and other tools have a similar feature) - its still a pain, particularly if it is a common field like the primary name, but better than nothing.

    Hi Partner,
    Unfortunately, we don't seem to be able to check which fields are used in Power Automate.
