Very nice. I just used this feature last week to create a label based on Sharepoint List inputs for our one of our Groups. Thankfully I had already been granted Premium Features by our IT Group so that I could use it. Only issue was sharing the Power Automate Flow in a Power App so that others can run it who didn't have Premium Licenses, so I chose to have folks run the Flow as Me. Hopefully that's not an issue with the Microsoft folks. However, it may cause an issue if I have to leave the organization for whatever reason. Someone else would probably have to take over the Automate Flow that also has Premium. I did notice that Premium didn't show up on the Office 365 Example, the first one. Is it not a Premium feature there?
