Russ_Rimmerman This is really great post.

I am trying this out but it's failing at "DisplayName" step with below error: "Unable to process template language expressions in action 'DisplayName' inputs at line '1' and column '2796': 'The template language function 'substring' parameters are out of range: 'start index' and 'length' must be non-negative integers and their sum must be no larger than the length of the string. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions#substring for usage details.'."
