Assign to Claim

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 44

Hi,

I'm not clear on how the Assign to Claim field works in Power Automate when trying to create a new item. I have a list set up (Issue Tracker template) where I'm trying to put the contents of a form into the the list. I would like to assign the person manually using Automate based on a category selection from the form. The Assign to Claim field is just an empty drop down that will not allow me to select a person as if i'm using the Send an Email action. Can someone please assist me?

    Hi @CourtneyPowell .

     

    If you have a "Person" type column in SharePoint, when you're trying to create/update the field then you'll have to pass the claims. Which means if you have a field called "Assigned to" it will ask you to fill "Assigned to Claims".

     

    The format for claims is "i:0#.f|membership|email@domain.com".

     

    For example I have a Person field called "Employee", which should be the responder's email, then I can pass the claims in this format,

    So you just need to append "i:0#.f|membership|" before the email.

     

    Hope this helps 🙂


    Kind Regards,

    Shaik Sha
