Symptoms
You experience the following issues when you try to add dynamic content to a Power Automate flow:
You can't see the dynamic content from previous steps.
The "No Dynamic Content Available" message appears in the dynamic content picker.
Cause 1: Use a trigger that supports the "Split On" option and the option is turned on
This issue might occur when you use a trigger that supports Split On (such as When a new response is submitted) and the option is turned on.
Resolution
Turn off the Split On option for the trigger card by taking the following steps. After you complete the steps, the dynamic content should be available in the dynamic content picker.
On the trigger card, select the three dots (...).
Select Settings.
Turn off the Split on setting and select Done.
Cause 2: The data type of the dynamic content differs from the data type of the parameter
The default behavior is that the dynamic content picker filters the dynamic content based on the data type of the parameter. For instance, the dynamic content picker for a string parameter will only show a filtered list of dynamic content that are of type string.
In this example, the parameter is a number, which isn't visible in the dynamic content picker.
Workaround
Use one of the following workarounds:
Search for the dynamic content in the dynamic content picker. This will override the data type filtering.
Use the Compose action card. The output of the Compose action, namely Outputs, will appear in the dynamic content picker, and you can select it to use in the flow.
