Applying site designs failing to apply the site design to SharePoint
Today I tried to apply a site design to a SharePoint site using Power Automate, however this would just not work without any failure being reported.

This is going to be a quick post. But hopefully this will help someone else spend too much time on this issue.
Normally the ApplySiteDesign endpoint will apply a site design to a SharePoint site however I found that when you have larger site scripts assigned to your site design then this might just silently fail. The limit is 30 actions in your site script, so this must be quite an easy problem to find.

Applying site designs failing to apply the site design to SharePoint can be caused by a number of different issues. Depending on what is causing the issue, there are several ways of resolving it. Common causes include incorrect permissions, syntax errors in JSON code, or invalid property values. If you have identified that your site design is failing due to an incorrect permission setting, then you will need to check and adjust any existing user permissions for the target web or list where applicable. If there are syntax errors in your JSON code then these must be corrected before attempting to re-apply the site design again. Finally if there are invalid property values set within your JSON code then these also must be corrected before attempting to reapply the site design again.
