Microsoft Power Automate Flows support both Common Data Service and Common Data Service (current environment) connectors at the present time. The Common Data Service (current environment) connector is newer.
Both offer similar triggers and actions. Link to a good write up on the difference. Here is how to visually tell them apart to help properly setup the proper syntax/format.
Common Data Service icon has thinner line vs Common Data Service (current enviornment) which has bolder line
Common Data Service connector Triggers include “When a row is selected” – this is the trigger needed for Instant Cloud Flows. Triggers and Actions names use “record” instead of “row”
Common Data Service (current environment) connector Triggers include the flow step from a business process flow. Triggers and Actions names use “row” instead of “record” based on newer terminology
