Power Automate for desktop - Build 2508

This article describes the new features, improvements and fixes to existing functionality that are included in this build.

Installer version 2.59.148.25206 - Microsoft Store version 11.2508.102.0 updates

New Features

  • Browser launching actions now support web automation using WebDriver in preview. This change enables web automation actions to run without relying on Power Automate’s browser extensions.

  • A new flow setting is now available in the flow properties in the console, which can set the verbosity level of the action logs for that flow’s runs.

  • Two new filtering options have now been added to the console, to filter flows and tests based on their modified-on date and status. The search functionality has also been enhanced to take into consideration the flows’ tags, other than just their names.

Enhancements & Improvements

  • Some enhancements have now been implemented in the Copilot ‘Repair’ window that may be displayed during runtime for missing UI elements, including a Run details panel, a selector comparison functionality, as well as fixes for some accessibility issues.

  • Some accessibility and keyboard navigation improvements have been made to the Flow checker side pane.

  • Some improvements have taken place in the Flow checker side pane, to properly display the diagnostic count number in all cases.

  • A new rule has now been added to Static analysis to detect unreachable statements in the flow.

  • SAP automation has now been enhanced with the support of SAP grid elements.

  • A link to the troubleshooter has now been added to communication error dialogs, to address issues related to network, proxy, or firewall misconfigurations and improve overall reliability and supportability.

  • Scripting actions now display the specific line where a syntax error occurs during editing.

  • An in-line indication and popup information for actions that have flow checker error violations are now available. Flow checker warnings are now also shown in-line with the actions in the designer workspace, similar to errors.

  • Warnings will now be shown in-line with the actions in the designer workspace, similar to errors

  • When searching for variables that don’t exist in the variable picker window, a more specific warning message is now displayed.

  • A small margin to the scroll bar of the action dialog has now been introduced for a cleaner UI.

Repaired Functionality

The following list details issues in Power Automate for desktop that are now resolved:

  • In Power Fx flows, selecting a function from the proposed ones after starting typing now works as expected.

  • The screen resolution flow setting for unattended runs has been corrected to ensure proper functionality, when the user has run-only user access to that flow.

  • An issue with incorrect parameter ordering in Dataverse connector actions has now been resolved.

  • The file picker now properly respects the multi-selection property, and improvements have also been made to the respective input argument and variable pickers.

  • The user interface in the ‘Filter data table’ action now doesn't display an ‘OR/AND’ rule in the first filter row.

  • A static analysis issue showing incomplete violations only on empty simple if actions has now been resolved, so that it shows violations on all types of empty if cases.

  • An issue in actions including a data grid editor, where the ‘Delete row’ context option was disabled, has now been resolved.

  • An issue with the subflows list display in dark mode has now been resolved.

  • An issue was fixed, where setting a breakpoint incorrectly triggered static analysis and reloaded the list of errors, even though no changes in violations were possible.

  • An issue in the ‘Unzip files’ action has been fixed, so that the original modification time of the compressed files is restored during decompression, instead of being overridden with the time of the decompression.

  • An issue with an error that was sometimes thrown when capturing an element for image fallback has now been resolved.
