When Megan V. Walker (her real name) asks a question, others listen because it’s often a non-trivial challenge.

I have two tables, both with a file column. I want to use Power Automate to move the file from TABLE A to the corresponding field on TABLE B.

(Easy, right? Not so fast! – g.d.)

The problem is, of course, I don’t bother setting Run After conditions and the result often looks like this:

Now I have to edit, figure out what’s wrong, run again and again as I didn’t get to even try three other steps. If you find yourself doing the same mind-numbing experimental activities, make it a habit to use parallel branches!

Add a parallel branch or two and rearrange the existing flow.

The execution nails one of the actions as a solution in a single run!

You can continue branching out, of course, on any level:

PS. Credit where credit’s due: juggling parallel branches is much easier in the new Power Automate editor.

PPS. Use parallel branches for production runs as well. Don’t tell anyone but executing things in parallel is usually faster.

Access Azure blob metadata in two steps: obtain a SAS URI, then make an HTTP request — HEAD to read or PUT to write. Accessing index tags isn’t straightforward; secure a SAS URI that permits tag manipulation elsewhere, then return to complete the task.

Ever wondered if you had the latest and greatest version of the Plugin Registration Tool (PRT) or Configuration Migration Tool (CMT)? And always had to Google Bing Copilot it to find and download the tool? You can now just pac it!

From any console like VS Code or PowerShell, just type pac tool prt for PRT and pac tool cmt for CMT.

You can also launch Power Platform Admin Center (PPAC) and the Marker portal from pac, run pac tool admin and pac tool maker, respectively.
