Updating the value of a CDS Option Set field

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I have a CDS entity with a number of fields based on option sets. I am trying to populate the entity with values from another data source. When trying to write to the option set field I am unable to pass a text value (that is in the option set) to the field - it requires an integer value.  Is there a way to either update the field with a text value or lookup and pass the index value of the item in the option set?

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Could you please share a screenshot of the configuration of your flow?

    Could you please explain more details about your issues?

     

    If the field requires an integer value,have you take a try to formate the text value to integer type with expression int() as below:

    int(Dynamic content of text value)

     

    Please share more details so we would try to provide a proper workaround for you.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice
