Hi Community,

For example:

I have Create a  custom Field similar like (Tax Liable) in sales Invoice, that I want to make a Flow through Powerautomate that  work as when the toggle is true/false the only field in the whole page Should Save automatically.

I just want a trigger for my custom field that only particular trigger not for other field in the whole page.

    The page will automatically be saved when you toggle you field. That is standard functionality. Or am I misunderstanding what you mean by saved?

    Hi, Inge is right, in the latest version, modifying the field will save it immediately instead of closing the page.

    More details: Auto-save as you work -> Trigger timing of OnModify (Table) Trigger/OnModifyRecord (Page) Trigger has changed

    So, I think this behavior cannot be controlled by Power Automate so far.

    Hope this helps as well.

    Thanks.

    To create a Power Automate flow that triggers when the custom field in your sales invoice is toggled, you can follow these steps:

    1. Create a new flow: In Power Automate, click on "Create" and select "Instant Cloud Flow".

    2. Select a trigger: In the "Choose your flow's trigger" window, select the "When a record is updated" trigger.

    3. Connect to Business Central: In the "Connect to Business Central" window, select your Business Central environment and enter your credentials to connect.

    4. Choose the sales invoice entity: In the "Choose your action" window, select "Sales Invoices" as the entity you want to monitor for changes.

    5. Define the trigger condition: In the "Trigger Conditions" section, define the condition that should trigger the flow when the custom field is toggled. For example, you could set the trigger to fire when the "Tax Liable" field is changed and its value is set to "true".

    6. Add an action: In the "New step" window, select "Update a record" as the action you want to take when the trigger condition is met.

    7. Choose the sales invoice entity again: In the "Choose your action" window, select "Sales Invoices" as the entity you want to update.

    8. Define the fields to update: In the "Set the values" section, select the field you want to update when the trigger condition is met. In this case, it would be the field that should save automatically.

    9. Save and test the flow: Save the flow and test it by toggling the custom field in a sales invoice record to see if the field you selected is updated automatically.

    Note that you may need to adjust these steps based on your specific needs and the structure of your sales invoice entity in Business Central.
