Good morning!

I created a Sharepoint List and made power apps to collect data. I made a word template and then built a Power apps flow and mapped all values in template using Populate a Word Template step in flow except, however the multi select column is not showing values in Template, using text control like all other single value column/field does show up.

Is there a workaround to make it work/solve. I would appreciate the help!

And this is what it is populating on Word Template -

How can I make it work.

Whenever you need to see the format of something, manually enter the value into the field, and then use code to output it.

Without testing, I believe that most multiselects will, at the least, be semicolon-separated. item 1; item 2; item 3.

So, in your SharePoint list, populate the field with multiple values.

In a Flow, use the GetItem or GetItems Action to hit the list.

Run the flow, and examine the instance and see what was returned.

When you try to write to the list, use that format.

Update -

I created CSV tables in flow and mapped the Output of these tables with the associated columns. It worked for me!

Thanks you!
