Fix GUID format mismatch in SYNC HELPER - Cloud Flows

[Copilot]

SYNC HELPER - Cloud Flows fails when processing flow IDs from Power Automate API because they lack hyphens (1a13663fde2d4a0fa1159b4b8c7c4d69), but Dataverse OData queries expect standard GUID format (1a13663f-de2d-4a0f-a115-9b4b8c7c4d69).

Changes

• Added Format_Flow_GUID action at Inventory_this_flow scope that normalizes GUIDs to standard format if hyphens are missing

  @if(contains(triggerBody()['text_2'], '-'), 
    triggerBody()['text_2'],
    concat(
      substring(triggerBody()['text_2'], 0, 8), '-',
      substring(triggerBody()['text_2'], 8, 4), '-',
      substring(triggerBody()['text_2'], 12, 4), '-',
      substring(triggerBody()['text_2'], 16, 4), '-',
      substring(triggerBody()['text_2'], 20, 12)
    )
  )
  

• Updated 5 Dataverse actions to use @outputs('Format_Flow_GUID') instead of @triggerBody()['text_2'] for recordId parameters:

  • See_if_flow_exists_to_mark_deleted
  • Flow_existed_so_mark_deleted
  • Get_Flow_from_Inventory
  • Upsert_Flow_record_(creator_not_found)
  • Upsert_Flow_record

• Documentation: Added fix guide and updated troubleshooting documentation

Compatibility

Backward compatible - handles both hyphenated and non-hyphenated GUIDs. No changes required to calling flows or existing data.
