Feature layer choices in Trigger end at "N" and I can't select my needed layer

AnninaRupe1

I've been having trouble with my Flow working, and to help troubleshoot, I want to try reconnecting to my Feature Layer in the drop-down list. When I click on my Trigger ("When a record is updated in a feature layer"), the feature layer that is listed has weird formatting (see image). When I remove the layer to select it again from the list, the drop-down shows the layers I have access to listed in alphabetical order. Unfortunately, the layers listed end at those beginning with "N," and my layer starts with "P." Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I've made a new connection and that hasn't worked.

Today, we noticed that there is a new "Layers In" parameter for some triggers and tasks. This caused the layers list to include layers for all users and stopped part-way through the alphabet. I had to replace them in my flows to see the new parameters, and the entire layer list.

What you are seeing is the Feature Layer URL. When things are "working", you see the Display Name. When things "stop working", you see the raw URL.

There are a few reasons why you may be seeing the URL:

Something is wrong with the connection. In this case, the Display Name could not be retrieved and the action will fail. If the layer is still valid, fixing the connection will restore the Display Name and the action should work again.
You added the layer to your Favourites in Portal, then in Power Automate you changed "Layers in" to "My favourites" and selected the layer, then back in Portal you removed the layer from your Favourites. Again, the Display Name could not be retrieved, but the action will continue working normally. This is one of the couple times seeing the URL isn't a bad thing.
In the "Feature layer" field, you selected "Enter custom value". There is no Display Name to retrieve in this case, so the URL is normal. Whether or not this works depends on proper configuration.
The layer was changed/deleted. In this case, nothing will work.

It sounds like your connection is still valid, but it never hurts to go to Connections and re-authenticate. I've had a few cases where this has magically fixed issues. If anything, it wont hurt things.

Clearing the field and then trying to re-add should show all available layers. If this wasn't working, I'd expect the drop-down to be blank (with an error message). Since that isn't the case, I will assume things are working. In this case, I'd go to Portal to confirm the layer 1) exists and 2) I (you) am the owner. Also, I find in annoying situations like this, adding the layer to your Favourites in Portal and then using that filter in Power Automate can make things easier.

Thanks for the quick response. I guess I should've been more clear: that "raw" URL is the part that looks funky, because of the URL code that's been added (e.g. %) when it shouldn't be replaced. While I was messing around, I copied the service URL from ArcOnline and pasted that as a custom value. That seemed to work.

Unfortunately, that still doesn't get at the root issue--I'm logged in, my credentials have been re-authenticated, and I still can't see any layers after "N." I tried adding the layer to "My Favorites" in ArcOnline, and that doesn't come up. I even tried creating a new Flow using the "When a record is updated in a feature layer" for Enterprise trigger, but I was coming up with the same issue. Note: I'm not expecting the same layers, since they are in different systems, but I can't see layer names past "N" in the Enterprise system, either.

Thanks to both @abureaux and @RyanAglietti !

They must've pushed some changes! I logged in this morning and noticed for almost all of my Flows I could just click on the trigger or action and see the "Layers in" and "Feature layer" parameters...and could see all of my possible inputs. I just made sure to save each after I clicked on each trigger/action to make sure the changes stuck.
I did have to re-create one of my Flows, though, that didn't automatically show the new parameters. A day ago this didn't work!
