Amend Connection Reference

This XrmToolBox tool allows you to update the connection references of the Microsoft Dataverse steps from the selected cloud flow to use a particular Microsoft Dataverse connection reference (developed by Amarnath Ramalath).

While connection references are in preview, one connection reference can only be used within a maximum of 16 flows. You might have to create 5 different connection references for the same Microsoft Dataverse connector for your 80 cloud flows but now that there is no more limitation, you might want to consolidate them all to use a single Microsoft Dataverse connection reference.

Or do you want to do it the other way around to split your cloud flows to use different connection references because dozens of your cloud flows are using the same service principal application user and hitting the service protection API limit?

Instead of opening up each cloud flow and updating the connection reference for each and every Microsoft Dataverse step, you can use this tool to select the cloud flow to update it to use the selected Microsoft Dataverse connection reference.
