How to paste multiple options in a column as value

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 8

Hi everyone! 

I need your help to design my flow.

It is a process where a document is uploaded to a library, information is completed in the same library and the flow copies and pastes the information in a list in different rows, but I have columns where multiple options must be selected, I use the variables function but it copies the information increasing by 1 in each field, I only need it to be copied once. Can someone help me solve it, please? I leave details of the flow

    Hi @BDVICKO ,

    Is the column type of ‘The Manufacturer’ a multi-choice column or a multi-line text column?

    Do not use the 'Get items' control, use the 'Get item' control.

    Hi  @v-yetonggu-msft, thank you very much, it is both, in the library I have multiple options in the column and in the list the column is as multiple lines of text. 

    I used the get items control because it is necessary to multiply the information in several rows, with the get item only the information is pasted in the first row.

    Hi @BDVICKO ,

    Could you tell me why there are two 'Legal Manufacturer' dynamic contents in your 'Apply_to_each_3' loop? What are they?

    Hi @v-yetonggu-msft 

    Sure, the apply to each 3 was generated automatically by placing the value of the append variable.

    I show you the previous steps.

    Previously I had a set approval status (the library is updated), then the variable and at the end several rows are updated (in the list).
