Description:
When editing the Power Automate for Power BI button visual in Power BI Desktop, the flow picker displays only a list of available flows. It does not indicate which flow is currently bound to the visual.
This creates confusion when maintaining reports, because:
No flow is highlighted, selected, or marked as the existing connection.
The ellipsis menu (“…”) also redirects to the same unfiltered list instead of opening the existing bound flow.
This makes it impossible to identify the active flow without triggering it, inspecting JSON manually, or exporting the file.
This is especially problematic in multi‑flow environments or where flows cannot be executed safely for testing.
Expected behavior:
The flow picker should preselect or highlight the flow that is currently attached to the Power Automate visual, or the visual should provide a direct link to the associated flow (as Power BI Service often does).
Actual behavior:
The picker opens with no item selected. All flows appear identical, with no indication of which one is the visual’s active connection.
Steps to reproduce:
Open a report containing a Power Automate visual.
Select the visual and choose Edit from the visual header or pane.
Observe that none of the flows in the list are shown as the currently linked one.
Impact:
Hard to maintain reports with multiple automation flows
High risk of editing or replacing the wrong flow
Time‑consuming workaround (exporting JSON, PBIP inspection, or triggering flows)
