Introduction In Power Automate/Power Platform, environment variables within solutions are essential for managing and configuring flows across different environments. However, there is no direct way to declare an environment variable as an array. This blog post will cover how to use JSON to store arrays as environment variables, enabling you to manage complex data structures efficiently. Available Environment Variable Types Power Automate offers various types of environment variables you can select and configure:

If it takes too long to deploy the solution, time out issues might occur. In this instance consider checking and updating the MaxAsyncWaitTime. Its value has been increased to 120 which means the deployment process will wait up to 120 seconds (or 2 minutes) for asynchronous operations such as import power platform solution to complete fixing the timing out issue. The fix is to amend the MaxAsyncWaitTime to 120 - task: PowerPlatformImportSolution@2 inputs: authenticationType: PowerPlatformSPN PowerPlatformSPN: 'powerplatform-t-connection' Environment: 'https://contoso-st.
