Can Power Automate's "Extract Data from Web Page" action pull the ADF Copy activity's Table source list of values? I tried to inspect the ADF page's source, but the values in the list seem to be dynamically created (pulled from the source) and not imbedded in the page.

Can Power Automate's "Extract Data from Web Page" action pull the ADF Copy activity's Table source list of values?
No. It Cannot. The table list in ADF UI is dynamically loaded via javascript and API calls, not embedded in the static HTML that Power Automate reads.
Power Automate's "Extract data from web page" action cannot scrape these dynamic values (like the table list) from the ADF UI. This is because:
- The DropDown Contents are not part of Static HTML DOM.
- They're loaded dynamically via XHR/fetch requests, typically only visible when inspecting the network traffic in browser developer tools.
- Power Automate’s web page data extraction relies on static DOM parsing, not JavaScript-rendered elements or dynamic API responses.
How is the table list populated in ADF Copy activity UI?
When you select a linked service and integration runtime, the UI sends a background request (XHR/fetch) to fetch the available tables or entities from the connected data source (e.g., Jira).
I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.
