I don’t know if I’ve already reported this a million times or what.
Using
Activities - Microsoft 365 Scope (uipath.com)
I want to get rid of any kind of interactive authentication method. But the only one we get to work with this activity is the “Interactive Token” one.
According to the documentation ( Activities - Microsoft 365 Scope (uipath.com)), there are two… “something”, because it’s not properly explained what it is. It goes from “Proerties Panel connection method” to two items in a list:
- Connections
- Authentication scopes
In any case: I want to use / see / access that “AuthenticationScopes” dropdown, but there’s no way it shows up.
This belongs to the docs:
This is what I get:
Only a “Connection method - Properties Panel” dropdown!!
And note that in the docs screenshot there’s not even a “Connection method - Properties Panel” dropdown displayed in there.
If this is something that appears or disappears “dinamically”, depending on whichever options you select, it should be properly explained in the docs!!
I had 2.6.20-preview installed (again: I had a hard time which package this activity belonged to). So I thought it would be a good idea giving a try an update and maybe the absence of the “AuthenticationScopes” dropdown was related to it.
NO. It’s not related to it.
Plus when I debug the project after updating:
- Again it puts an * in every file or tab that gets automatically opened during debug, and it compleins about the changes not being kept, although I’m not making any changes. It’s itself who’s putting an asterisk in there.
- I get a “Read range: Method not found: ‘Void ClosedXML.Excel.XLWorkbook…ctor(ClosedXML.Excel.XLEventTracking)’.” when reading the Excel config file. I didn’t do any modification to the Excel file and never saw this error before.
If I drag and drop a new “Microsoft 365 Scope” activity from scratch, then I see a “Connection method”, a “Connections *” and an “Authentication Scopes” (again, this is different from the docs screenshot, as there’s only ONE of these dropdowns there). I copy & paste the contents of the “Do” part from my “old” activity and it detects the “Authentication Scopes”; I check all them.
But then, when I fill the values in the activity properties (Application ID, Tenant, etc) ALL THESE DROPDOWN but the “Connections method” - “Properties Panel” disappear! They get replaced by a box in yellow saying that “The authentication parameters could not be read you must provide a literal value for Application Id in order to use design time services”.
Then I fill in the values, the yellow box disappears, but the “Authentication Scopes” dropdown doesn’t reappear.
Then you have to start doing a lot of “magic” and tricks to see if you get it to show up. I started from scratch, then this time I filled in the values for the activity first to see if the “Authentication Scopes” would stay. Finally, in a random combination, I got it to stay. Honestly, I don’t know how because I tried so many combinations I can’t reproduce it again. But now I cannot try if it works because of the “Read Range Workbook: Method not found: ‘Void ClosedXML.Excel.XLWorkbook…ctor(ClosedXML.Excel.XLEventTracking)’.”

Sincerely, the quality of this software is light years sway from Alpha stage.
