Hello,

I am new to Power Automate. Please help me with the steps in achieving the below functionality:

I have a parent and child entities. When a child entity record is created, I would like to update the child entity record owner same as Parent. (Parent entity owner can either be a User or a Team).

Thanks!

If my understanding is correct Steps in Power Automate: Trigger: When a row is added

Use the trigger: When a row is added (Dataverse connector)

Table Name: Child

2. Get Parent Record

Add the “Get a row by ID” step

Table Name: Parent

Row ID: Use the Parent lookup field from the Child trigger step

3. Condition (optional): Owner type

You can check if the Owner (type) is systemuser or team if needed.

This is useful only if you want to do something different based on the owner type.

4. Update Child Record

Use “Update a row” action

Table Name: Child

Row ID: Child record ID from trigger

Set: Owner (Value): Use Owner (Value) from the Parent record

Important: Make sure you set Owner (Value) and Owner (Type) correctly if your schema uses polymorphic lookup (owner can be either a user or a team).

Hi,

I am a bit confused about child and parent entities...maybe its just me with my lack of knowledge...

Could you share some insights\specifics about which child and parent entity you would like to update and which fields?

Kind regards, Adis
