Name of an Action Input in Flow Designer: can it be edited?

Flavio4

Hello,

apparently I can edit the Label of an Action Input but not its Name.
Any way to do it, or one has to re-create the Action Input?

By the way, the same limitation seems to apply for names of Flow Variables.

Thank you in advance
Flavio

Hi @Flavio4,

 

You cannot change the action's name title, you can however add Annotation.

Hover over in the line and on the right side, click on this icon, example of the annotation added:

And to re-create, you can duplicate that action:

If you need more actions that are similar,  you can create one, duplicate it and adjust the second one slightly, it is more convenient then to create from scratch..

@Flavio4 
just when you create a duplicate it will be placed right after the original action, if you want to place it elsewhere, hover to the left-mouse and there will be dots to drag and drop it somewhere else, you just need to release it at a "bubble", otherwise it will stay.

 

See the step 4 - there is a little icon with dots, with that you can change its position:

Hello @Flavio4 

 

This is behavior in action, either you can recreate entire new action or just add new input as per your desired name you need and use it in action. Similarly, it goes for flow variables.
