How to capture UniqueField name in power automate

    Not sure what happened it didn't display my text:

    My issue is that with Power Automate, when a form is received, all the fields are numbered:

    1 - Name

    2 - Email

    3 - Phone

    If you add another field in it renumbers the fields

    1 - Name

    2 - address

    3 - Email

    4 - Phone.

    This means you then have to go back into the automation and re-link the form submission to where its populating such as a list or email etc.

    Also because its using the full question text it can truncate in power automate so doesn't show the full text so can be hard to match.

    I have a form with over 200 fields if i change a field near the top it renumbers all the fields below and i have to go through and re-link every field.

    I was wondering if there is a way that instead of sending the questions numbered it used the Unique Field name that you can use to pre-populate from URL etc so you'd get:

    {name}

    {email}

    {phone}

    and if i add in address it doesn't change the other fields

    {name}

    {address}

    {email}

    {phone}

    This seems much better from an automation side and much easier to find the fields your looking for, plus you don't have to worry about a field name being really long.
