PowerAutomate: Copy/Paste switch conditions

I was delighted to see the ‘Copy to/Paste from clipboard’ feature introduced some months ago; however I could never seem to get it working from one switch condition to another. After a bit of research, I found a way to do it…

  1. Add a parallel branch beside the ‘apply to each’ containing the switch
  2. Add a ‘Scope’ action to it
  3. Build your actions inside the scope, excluding any outputs from previous steps
  4. Copy the scope to your clipboard
  5. Beneath the scope, click ‘Add action/Clipboard’ then the copied scope
  6. Repeat the paste for as many switch conditions as you’re planning on creating
  7. Drag the pasted scopes into your switch conditions
