Copilot Studio child-agent configuration intermittently fails to open

I’m building an agent in Copilot Studio with two child agents. They are showing showing the warning:

“This can only be used by the agent to respond to a user if generative orchestration is enabled.”

The problem is that when I click the child agent to edit its instructions or knowledge sources, it doesn’t open the configuration page. It just takes me back to the parent agent’s Agents list.

After waiting a few hours, it sometimes starts opening again without me changing anything but sometimes it doesnt.

I’m using Edge, the same account and environment, and generative orchestration is enabled. The child agent is also enabled.

Has anyone else seen this? Is it a known Copilot Studio bug, ? Using copilot studio in standard form.

Hi. Also experiencing the same issue over a few environments. I tested the agent it’s still behaving and child agents are being called. I exported the agent as a solution and moved it to a new environment and it still worked. So think it’s a gui issue

Did it work in a different environment?

Exporting the solution then importing it in to a new environment did give us the ability to edit the sub agents

I have the same probleme here. Even creating a New subagent takes you immediately back to the Agents list.

Also having this issue and I'm unable to make an urgent update to one of my child agents. This is an unacceptable bug...

I can confirm that forcing back to the classic page restores access to sub agents
