Hello,

Azure Automation Runbook supports PowerShell Workflow version 5.1 at the moment, is there any Preview/GA for version 7.2 anytime soon?

Thank you,

Michel

Hello @Pranay Reddy Madireddy ,

Thank you for your fast response, I meant PowerShell Workflow, it only supports 5.1, I wanted to know if version 7.2 is coming soon.

Thank you,

Michel

There are no plans to bring PowerShell Workflow to PowerShell 7.2 version. If you need features specific to PowerShell Workflow, you will have to continue using Windows PowerShell 5.1 in Azure Automation.
I recommend keeping an eye on Azure update page

If you have any further queries, do let us know.
