Power Automate SharePoint start flow box not loading
did you finally find a solution to this? Having a similiar issue with a specific user where system is neither showing an error nor starting the launch box for the flow. Simply it's loding forever....
MAEI_CH timely that you should get in touch. Believe we have found the root cause of this problem.
Within the 'Row only users' setting on the front page of the flow you can select a SharePoint list to give the same users as have access to that list. It appears that the users need contribute permissions on the linked list for the flow to trigger and open up.
This has got it working for us; we are creating a dummy list to simply manage the permissions, as we don't want the end users to have direct access onto the lists that the flow operates out of.
Hope this helps.

jgordon2170 thanks a lot for the suggestion. Would love to try it out - but the whole setup around sharepoint lists seems to have some bugs. I can only select 2 of the lists I have created on my sharepoint. There are around 20 other ones not display.
Did you do anything special on the lists as such in order to trigger them showing up in Flow?

MAEI_CH you don't need to do anything special to make your lists show up in Power Automate. But the dropdown doesn't update dynamically, so make sure you go back to My Flows then edit the flow again. Your lists should be there under the site they were created in.

Microsoft Power Automate Community Super User- jgordon2170Oct 25, 2021Copper ContributorHi Rob, the issue isn't in the actual power automate; it is within the Run only users settings where you can specify a SP list to use as the basis.

MAEI_CH you seem to need to actively call something out from the list. I haven't worked out what works exactly yet; but i was planning on creating that dummy list and just doing a get sharepoint item on it.
I'll report back when I get chance to have a play.
