How do you use this field?

Hey guys,

 

I recently created a SharePoint list with columns that specify a Person/Group datatype and specified that it can be selected with multiple people/groups.

 

Upon creating the Flow, I saw this field on my Update Item:

May I know how can this be utilized? I didn't find any documentation on this via Flow and SharePoint, would like to know some use-cases for this field if I want to put in multiple people.

 

Thanks,

David

    Hi @david_castillo,,

     

    I have made  atest on my side and you could refer to screenshot below to create the flow:

    The Custom Value in the Person claims column should as below:

    i:0#.f|membership|xxxx@xxxxx.com

     

    The flow would run successfully as below:

    The list would be updated as below:

    Thanks, Alice!

     

    Is there a way to automate populating that field when putting an Apply To each method? My use-case, for example, is if the user has entered multiple people in that column, the apply to each should automatically append each user using that field. Is that possible?

    Hi @david_castillo,

     

    I have made a test on my side and I afraid that there is no any way to achieve your needs for your use-case.

     

    The only way might that you should adapt your use-case to my provided solution.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice
