While generative answers from custom data source it's not giving response of all data

Hi,

As per user choise option(Step 1) I'm making HTTP rest API call(Step 2) and fetching database records in JSON format.
After it parsing JSON value(Step 3) and storing in variable e.g. varFormattedBooking.

Now generating answers(Step 4) from custom data source and in custom data source I've used variable varFormattedBooking which contain all data.

I've noticed in JSON response for example getting 10 records then in formatted answers it's showing only 2 or 3.

So may I know how can I show all response same like JSON records? Is it something limited to content length etc... while generative answer?

Thanks

Hi @Artur Stepniak,

I'm able to show all records without using Generative answers I've used Adaptive card. Where used for each to bind all data with formating and it's working fine as expected. Below links will help to achieve the same.

Hello,

it's definitely too much for an input to generative answers node. We don't know exactly what model is used for that. In general, generative answers were made mainly as a fallback when the standard approach fails (e.g. using classic actions and topics). If you have a big dataset, then you should think about creating a separate deployment in Azure AI Foundry and use it within Copilot Studio. In the future there will be an option to leverage custom models in Copilot Studio, but currently the only option is to integrate with them via HTTP call/Power Automate flow.

In case of any other questions, let me know. If the answer helped you, mark it, so that others can benefit from it.

Best regards,

Hi @Artur Stepniak,

As simply I'm making rest API call which fetching around 80 records and displaying it using Generative answers. So in this case of CoPilot how/from where I got to know which model is being used and it's limitation?

Hello,

it could be the case that the input is being cut, I've experienced it many times during the development. It's due to limits that are enforced on the model used in Copilot Studio. You'd need to experiment a bit with the content to make sure it's not too long. I'm not sure about the length limit though.
