Update a Multi-Choice Field by Adding a new choice and without removing old ones.

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 7

Hello again,

 

Hopefully anyone can help me with this issue, let me explain:

 

Example:

List A called "User DB" with a multiple-choice field that have all the "Contracts" listed - Contract 1, Contract 2, Contract 3...

List B called "Contract Requests" that contains to columns: "Request Status" - New/Completed and "Contract Name" - Contract 1, Contract 2, Contract 3....

 

What I need is that when an Item gets a "Completed" status on "Contract Request" List it would automatically update the User Item in "User DB" by appending this new contract without removing others that are already in there.

 

"User DB" List - User X - Active Contracts = X

then

"Contract Request" -> For User X and Contracts Y and Z -> Status "Completed"

results

"User DB List - User X - Active Contracts = X, Y and Z.

 

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks! 🙂

    @ictopuz  you can add below steps to your flow to append values to existing choice values in SharePoint list

     

    1. Add Select action (this needs to be added after the action which gets values from your SharePoint list). Select the Choice column from dynamic content in the From parameter. In the map configure as shown below

    2. Then add Initialize Variable action, name it and select type as Array, assign output to select action as value

    4. In the Update item action, provide the ChoiceArray variable for the multichoice field, you need to click switch button which you will find beside the multichoice field in order to provide select Choice array variable
