If you’re building a Flow that uses Dataverse connectors, you might need to change the metadata and it doesn’t reflect in the Flow and the issue continues to occur even after publishing the changes.

Scenario

Let’s suppose you are using Add a row action to create a new record in Dataverse/Dynamics CRM –

1. And when the Flow runs, the record is not created because you end up having this error where the length of the field enough to store the data.
   
   
2. Now, in order to fix this –
   
   
3. Now, even after I changes the above length – the error still occurs.

Issue

Let’s look at the issue –

1. The issue is, at the time of creating the step, Flow stores the metadata with an ID and when you change the metadata in the backend, it is not reflected back on the Flow.
   

Workaround

Here’s what you need to do in order to fix this –

1. You need to delete the step and re-do the step in your Flow
   
   
2. And now, it will have the latest metadata with the new Metadata ID to it –
   

Hope this helps!
