From List A to List B with choice field in both lists

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hello,

I have two share point lists, LIST A and LIST B. Some of the fields are the same (same type, same name etc).

What I need is when I create an item in LIST A, a new item to be created in LIST B. Now, the problem is that one person is maintaining LIST A, and the other is maintaining LIST B, which means both lists have choice (yes/no, person, date, attachment) type fields with same options that can be chosen from when creating items. Those same fields look something like this:

- Choice Field:
      - Choice 1
      - Choice 2
      - Choice 3
- Person
- YES/NO

- and some other fields that are different

 

How do I make that when someone is creating an item in LIST A, those values match with the values in LIST B?

How do I make something like:

If someone choses Choice 2, Choice 2 to be selected in the LIST B?

 

Hope you understand my problem.

Kind regards

    Thank you for your answer.

    I cannot change field type in the destination list because I want the person who is maintaining that list to be able to create and update items, and they should be able to select from dropdown choices which is important because that field then triggers another flow.

    Here is a blog post that may help with the choice column

    Another alternative is, in the destination list, use a text column rather than a choice.
