I have a Select step in my flow with the following code as the from code -

sort(body('Send_an_HTTP_request_2')['value'],'DisplayName')

I keep getting the following as an error and can't figure it out.

Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Select_-_persons_2' inputs at line '0' and column '0': 'The template language expression 'sort(body('Send_an_HTTP_request_2')['value'],'DisplayName')' cannot be evaluated because property 'value' cannot be selected.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm not sure what to put in the Schema box. I haven't used parse json before. Any advice?

Hi @ahhollan

at first before using parse json, use http request action and after that in compose specify body dynamic content . Run the flow and you will see body output in json format in compose action.

Copy that json and in parse json , click on generate schema and use that json to generate the schema by copying to it.
Refer this video for more details

and in the input of parse json pass the body dynamic content.

Hope it helps !

Mark it as solution if it resolves your query !
