Is there a timeline for the Edit Form feature to retrigger the Power Automate Flow
Or
A viable workaround to do so with some other steps.
Request your response on the same.anadar645 there's nothing on the release plans site and, as yet, there is no workaround.

A number of clients had been hoping to use the Microsoft suite to address projects requiring this feature, but it looks like we may have to move towards alternate providers.
I receive the following error when attempting to save an edited response. "This form doesn't exist anymore. Please contact the form owner for more information".

If the original form has been removed by form owner, you will also see this error - "This form doesn't exist".

Have you seen a session id on the error page? If you can share it with me, I can take a look and see what went wrong.
kotato196 actually it does make sense because a new response has not been submitted, the original response has been edited and the response re-submitted. Power Automate has not yet had a new trigger built for this as this feature is brand new. Hopefully Microsoft will build one shortly.

Hi Rob,
I was testing this feature in the past weeks and facing the same challenge. It would make sense as you said if saving the form for later editing did not trigger the associated flow but it does when the form is filled for the first time half-way through and saved for later editing. I can see that Flows react to that event as if the form was submitted. However, when editing the same form and re-submitting it later, the same flow does not react at all as if the form ID has changed when it was saved by the user and appeared in user's 'Filled forms' folder in Forms.
So, it makes me feel that this is rather a bug in the newly (and raw) cooked feature in Forms that Flows is not aligned to yet. What do you think?
For my particular task I want the flow to be triggered after every editing and re-submission of the associated form. And I want users to be able to do changes unlimited times and the flow collect new data set with every new editing.
Thank you!
