Checking against LOOKUP column and adding in a new item

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 22

Hi Microsoft Community,

I have a 'LOOKUP' column which is against the 'Title' (Single line of text) column. In this column, I have many different IDs which I need my automation to check if 'ID' is existing, then add a NEW ID into the LOOKUP column.

I am having difficulty because I dont know how to add into the Array/JSON, how can I do this?

Deeply appreciated.

    Hi @Frashe 

     

    Sorry read it wrong, but atm I dont quite follow. I am guessing this is SharePoint, and it are you using some Concated string? and Concated by what?

     

    If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

    Cheers

    Thank You

    Hi @Michael , apologies, let me try to paint a clearer picture.

    I have a SharePoint list 'A' which contains my programme codes, and title.
    I have a SharePoint list 'B', which has a 'LOOKUP' SharePoint column pulling from SharePoint list 'A'. So for an item in SharePoint list 'B', it can contain many programme codes.

    I wish to create an automation which will check with programme code X is present in SharePoint list B item, then it will help to add another value. I am having difficulties, trying to add a new item under an array item under the SharePoint 'LOOKUP' column. Below, I am trying to add the new programme code into my array, then try to Update Item of that particular row.
