Hi @e_wilber , Please see the attached Image

You will have to select the trigger - 'Created or Updated' and select a table of your choice.

Since this needs to run on a daily basis, we don't get this option? And if that's so, is it true then that this will only work on the base table that is selected in the query and not extended tables?

I need to make sure this runs on a Case Type/Extended table, not the Case table directly so I'm trying to figure out if I need to update the flow.

Hi @e_wilber , this option will be available only when there is a table involved in the trigger part. So, no, for 'daily' trigger, this option will not be available. 

And the use of this option is to configure a flow trigger to execute not only on the selected base table, but also on any child tables that extend from it.

• for example, we select 'task' as table in the trigger, and we select 'Run only on current table', this flow will only be executed when records are created/updated for 'task' table
• But if we select 'Run on current and extended tables' this flow will be executed when records are created/updated in the child tables along with the base table.
