Power DevBox Exception is used within the Power Automate maker studio (currently does not support Power Apps maker studio
Certain nested containers can cause issues when saving, as Power Automate will not allow it. To rectify either remove the action from the expression, or temporally rename the container to "Exception", re-run Power DevBox Exception, paste in the expression, then change the name back
How to use - Extended Capability
Select actions do not pass error messages to the container (example Dataverse actions). This requires the action to be referenced directly with both actions() and outputs() expression.
To add actions directly click the Exception icon shown in the Power Automate tope menu bar.
A popup menu will now appear (this can be dragged to where needed). Double clicking on actions will add them to the popup (clicking on the list will remove them) .
Your clipboard will be updated with the new expression ready to be pasted.
To hide the popup and deactivate the double click functionality click on the top menu Icon again.
As an example, from the above image the below expression is created.
