Programmatically Add Option Set Values in Dynamics 365 with Power Automate

Inogic Profile Picture Inogic 1,001 Super User 2025 Season 1

In Dynamics 365 or Power Apps, fields like Job Title or Region often use Option Sets (Choice fields) or Lookup fields for predefined lists. Manually entering large lists (50+ values) is inefficient, especially when data comes from Excel.

To streamline this, Excel and Power Automate can be used to automate Option Set creation:

  • When to use Option Sets: Ideal for static, simple lists without metadata or relationships.

  • Automation benefits: Saves time, reduces errors, and simplifies updates.

Automated Process Overview:

  1. Structure Excel file with desired values.

  2. Use Power Automate to:

    • Read each row from Excel.

    • Add values to the Option Set in Dataverse.

    • Automatically publish changes.


Once set up, the flow can be triggered with one click to update fields efficiently.
