- This no longer works with either Power Automate v2 nor v3

- Not working.

- found it really useful to update a massive apply to each statement, just make sure you are in Classic mode, otherwise the button does nothing.

- As of writing clicking the extension icon with the new designer ("v3") does nothing, and even with the old designer it's hit-and-miss.
- Rex Ion
- Incredibly useful, thanks
- miranto randriamampianina
- Works like a charm where the power automate GUI offers only a read-only field for code peek view
- Samuel King
- fantastic. does what it does. great for throwing JSON into LLM's and troubleshooting
- Alejandro Vazquez
- Although not perfect, it saved me hours of work updating a massive flow! Using this, i was able to copy the text to NotePad++, make the changes there (lots of find and replace), then copy back to this tool, validate, and save!

- MS's Power Automate editor is a pile of trash. YOU NEED THIS.
- Andrew Lindfield
- Allowed me to quickly edit some Power Automate code in a text editor and paste in back in to Power Automate. Saves me loads of time and effort.

- I can't get it to work. I've tried the refresh idea.

- Can be a very helpful tool, when it works. It seems to only launch if you click it on a fresh page load. But it makes searching your code much simpler, so thanks to the developer for taking the time to publish it!

- Was looking for something to let me quickly copy title attributes of dynamic content elements in the flow - this thing outputs it all which although not quite a hot key + right click kinda thing, it is a fantastic tool and definitely easier than hitting F12 to inspect element that way. Thanks for making and sharing this!
