Error when creating a DataFlow Gen2 using a DataFlow as a source

Hi,

 

trying to create a DataFlow Gen2 which consumes a DataFlow Gen2 I get the following error:

---------- Message ----------
Expression.Error: We can't convert values of this type to JSON.

---------- Session ID ----------
02561e1a-78ba-458a-bd4a-fc386ea100b4

---------- Request ID ----------
7f8c1baf-8746-43e0-8c61-0067b8442d45

---------- Mashup script ----------
section Section1;
shared Query = let
Source = PowerPlatform.Dataflows([])
in
Source;

 

Any clue what's behind that?

Hi,

 

but which JSON? I'm not working with any JSON (as a source or destination) so I guess it's the JSON behind the Data Flow definition. But I didn't touch that JSON, it was created by the Data Flow... For me it looks like a bug?!

Thanks,

 

Thomas

Hi @TePe 


It appears that what you are getting from the Power Apps is in a JSON format?

From your error it appears that the JSON is not in a valid format?
