Create a button to launch a Flow not working in list/library web part on page

[svanmoerkerke]

Hello, although the functionality works to launch a flow with a button in the list/library itself, when you add the list/library on a page, the Flow button does not work! Even more, when you click the ellipsis menu, there is no Automate menu item.

If this is not a bug, but by design, this should at least be added to the page as a note

@thechriskent I believe this is the current intended behavior correct? As we don't have a launch panel on modern pages.

I can confirm that the Launch Flow and Edit Props actions don't work when using the list web part. I'd call that a bug since it wasn't called out as unsupported anywhere that I've seen. If it's by design, as @svanmoerkerke points out, it should be noted clearly as a limitation.

I see no reason why either of these actions shouldn't be supported (as a goal, no idea the tech constraints). If they aren't going to be supported then I'd love to see some additional context available as part of formatting. It would be great if we had a way of finding out where the format is being rendered so we could conditionally hide those unsupported features.

I have the same issue with "EditProps" function on webpart. Are there any new information?
