PowerApps: Error code 502 - The server did not receive a response from an upstream server

Working on PowerApps project and integrating with PowerAutomate (Flow) to perform some update on SharePoint List. The PowerApps thrown error as screen shot below.

Error Code 502 - The server did not receive a response from an upstream server.

WorkFlowName.Run failed: { "error": { "code": 502, "source": "asia-001.azure-apim.net", "clientRequestId": "a1dd8bf2-cfba-465b-89d5-25c8f380a974", "message": "BadGateway", "innerError": { "error": { "code": "NoResponse", "message": "The server did not receive a response from an upstream server. Request tracking id '08585434596297091463243902025CU13'." } } } }

When check in flows's history, the status show succeeded and data is updated into SharePoint list without issue.

Tried many ways and tips from community like below:

 - Export and Import as new flows

 - Re-create the same flows

 - Change sharepoint list's column data type

 - Change data input of PowerApps flow 

 - Etc ...

There is no impact to the PowerApps functionality but Bad user experience to customer when using the PowerApps. 

Thank you to my peer Nimesh who help to resolved this issue. What he did was added return a response back to PowerApps. And that's it simple trick. 

If you are facing the same error please give it a try.

Recommended to have this as a practice to always return a response back to PowerApps in the flows.

Hope this will save your time for troubleshooting.

Azure: Licenses not assigned. License assignment failed for 1 user

Working on Azure portal today and trying to assign license to user. 

But keep receive error "License not assigned. License assignment failed for 1 user."

Wondering what could be missing for Global Administrator roles. Thank you to CJ for help on resolved this.

Usage Location – Why it is important?

This property is the one used while assigning a license to a user in office 365. Some services in Office 365 are not available in certain countries and “Microsoft” determines this with the help of UsageLocation. 

This is a mandatory property that needs to be assigned while assigning the license.

After updated the Usage Location, no issue to assign license to the user now.

3. In Apply for Each, using referencing function to call Compose output. Enter Expression below:
   
   

   split(outputs('Compose'), ' ')

    

   

   
   

4. In Compose - Proper, enter Expression into Inputs as below:
   
   

   if(equals(length(item()), 1), toupper(item()), concat(first(toupper(item())), toLower(substring(item(), 1, sub(length(item()), 1)))))

    

   

   
   

5. Create Data Operation - Compose for Result.
   
   
   
   
   
6. In Compose - Result, enter Expression into Inputs as below:
