Allow running Power Automate Flow while searching in list/library
We can run a Power Automate Flow by selecting item in list/library. This functionality works well while filtering or sorting the list.
But when I am searching within a list and selecting the list item from search results, all the "Automate" options are missing (both from command bar and item edit menu - ellipses).
Please allow running Power Automate Flow while searching in list/library

Disable editing multiple items on a SharePoint List customized with PowerApps
End users are able to edit and save multiple items in bulk, using the default form on the side pane, bypassing the business logic that is built within PowerApps.
The request is to disable the Edit functionality or hide the Edit link when multiple items are selected in a SharePoint List customized with PowerApps.23 votes -
Forms Points for correct answer are not available as dynamic content in Power Automate.
I am using the 'Track Microsoft Forms responses in an Excel Online (Business) spreadsheet' template to keep a spreadsheet in SharePoint up-to-date for a student test however Forms Points for for the correct answer to a question are not available as dynamic content in Power Automate.
Here is a link from a Microsoft agent describing the issue and stating that they couldn't see the field anywhere either and that it appeared to be an issue:
Please could you add this functionality as soon as possible as it is really useful while students are not able to come…

Save the data: SharePoint Online forms(dialog) customized with PowerApps
Japanese follows English.
Improvement on Sharepoint Online with PowerApps will contribute to many users as follows:
We have customized a Custom list item view / edit screen of SPO(SharePointOnline) with PowerApps.
(Normal behavior)
Clicking item of "title hyperlink" from default list view, a customized dialog window comes up front.
I change it to "edit mode" and can edit the item in the dialog window.(To be improved)
However, when I click on the parent (list view) window behind the dialog, the dialog closes unexpectedly and the data I have edited disappear sadly without saved.
(I need to re-open the dialog…135 votes -
Create an Option Under "Integrate" on Microsoft Lists to Create a Microsoft Form directly connected to it.
Google Sheets has a feature to create a simple form based on the sheet, Smartsheet has the same. Right now, Microsoft Forms automatically creates an excel document, but it doesn't have a feature to directly connect to a Microsoft List without the use of PowerAutomate. If we could have a direct connection, we could have more citizen developers that aren't technical enough to use Power Apps create their own lists and forms and keep them updated.

Flow Stop sharing a SharePoint folder
I would like the ability to use Microsoft flow to manage SharePoint folders permissions (Permission list: Full Control | Edit | View) for the following entities users, security groups and Office 365 groups (Operations: Add | Remove | Modify)
As of today 20191113, the tech article (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/sharepointonline/#stop-sharing-an-item-or-a-folder) says it provide this functionality, yet by testing and through MS support it does not work. This is folder operation in specific and not an item or file

Power Automate "Update Item" step for SharePoint should not automatically apply column default values to existing list items
The "Update Item" step automatically retrieves the default value for SharePoint list columns that have default values specified and incorporates them into the step. This can corrupt a list by unintentionally overwriting values that already exist in those columns. It is a highly counter-intuitive behavior for two reasons: 1. it does not make sense to apply default values to existing list items, which may already have different values specified; and 2. the "Update Item" step does not otherwise automatically apply values to columns that do not have default values. In my opinion, "Update Item" should not make changes to fields/columns…

Notification message to members of approval group is creating confusion when one of the members complete the common assigned task.
<One of your tasks was canceled and deleted. You do not need to take any further action on that task.>This notification message to a group of approvers of the workflow is confusing, causing anxiety to the requester and approvers in the work group when one of the approvers complete the approval task. An update is urgently needed to reduce confusion and discomfort. Please update the notification message to <The task has been completed. You do not need to take further action on the task.>

Lookup Limit 12 !!! Is this a joke? (Sharepoint Online + Power Automate)
I can't understand there is a lookup amount threshold of 12 columns/fields per list. Also, on-site SharePoint (server) allows you to change this limit to the content of your heart. We can't touch this setting on the Sharepoint Online site.
THIS IS A VERY LITTLE AMOUNT OF LOOKUPS !!
I think this threshold should be lifted to minumum 30 columns. Please, you need to take action until 1 November 2020.

Tool for migrating 2010 Workflow to PowerAutomate
As MS has declared 2010 Workflow will retire soon - Its a huge impact I guess. Unfortunately, we got hit with almost 600 2010WF from which 50 to 60 deals huge logic. Numerous WF has been written for impersonation permission. I am requesting - if it is possible if we can have a tool that helps to leverage migrating WF - 2010 and 2013 (because 25013 will also retire in 2026) to PowerAuotmate.
I understand its critical to have the same logic to move to PowerAutomate - but at least if we can move generic custom logic and give reports…

Add metadata to a Flow enhance "My Flows" view in Power Automate
I would like to add metadata to Power Automate "My Flows" so I can group them on.
i.e. standard metadata:
Sitename: multiple flows per site is good practice
Type of flow: running on a single site or running on multiple sites
Expiring within X days
etc.
If you provide the option for metadata, companies can add the columns themselves

Sending automated emails using Microsoft Lists
Tried to automate an email to an external candidate for HR using one of the templates in Lists. You can't email an external user. This is a senseless design, what good is it if you can't automate. O365 is garbage when it comes to the Sharepoint design. It requires the email address to be manually registered in Azure. Again, this is senseless, who is going to go through this process just make an automation work on a List? The whole idea of automating is to increase productivity. Basically useless....

About improvements to behavior where SharePoint 2013 workflows are not displayed to users with the Read permission■Description(内容):

ListId (GUID) as output value
When a Flow is e.g triggered when an item is changed or created the ListId (GUID) of the list is an input value but not available as output value.
It's only somehow part of the {Link} property...Please make the ListId available as own output value. The ListId is a required property for API calls as sometimes the list displayname and sometimes the technical name needs to be used. With the ListId it's generic...

Connector idea: Update item (but ONLY certain selected columns)
Currently the "Update Item" connector presents all columns it can find in the target Sharepoint list. Not only is this a lot of clutter, but it also has an issue where certain columns are auto-populated with their default values. What I envision is a new connector that would allow you to select the site and list like normal, as well as the normal field for the "ID" of the item, but from their down it would allow the user of the connector to add a new column value to update, let them select the column, then let them provide a…

100% Height of PowerApps custom form in SharePoint
Hi, can you please allow for dynamic height adjustment of PowerApps forms in SharePoint to 100%. At the moment it is a fixed size which creates a scroll bar, and on larger screen resolutions it does not work effectively, especially if there are lots of fields to fill in.
I have edited the HTML code in the browser debugger, and could get it to be 100% height, so I know it is possible, and looks much more professional.
Thank you for your time.
