OData Filter Query on Person Field

I am having issues trying to query a person field in a SPO list using the following syntax:

LessonOwner/Email eq 'help.me@please.com' (Note: LessonOwner is the internal field name)

The problem is I get the following error when running the flow - I cannot see any issue with the field and I tried deleting and replacing this field with the exact same display/internal name adn still ended up with the same error. If I switch the query to AN Other field, there is no error

Any help would be really appreciated.

Hi @AmDev,

As far as I am aware the Email property still needs to be written with a capital M (yes, pretty quirky gotcha 😁). So LessonOwner/EMail instead of LessonOwner/Email.

Can you try:

LessonOwner/EMail eq 'help.me@please.com'

Brilliant - Thanks @Expiscornovus 👍 - Cant believe I missed that

Worst thing is, I had this working previously in another flow, but when adapting it as part of a new solution, I referred to how the fields were written internally by SPO.. what was I thinking!? 😅
