Expense report Flow

Posted on by Mikele- 45

I am using the PowerApp and Flow provided by Microsoft and have a question

 

Why does the Flow use an "Apply to Each"

From what I understand the Flow starts when a new Report is submitted. The Get Items already filters on the item ID, so I am unclear what the "value" in Apply to Each is used for

Thought I mention @K-A-R-L and @RandyHayes as I noticed they've helped in similar threads

    Hi @Mikele- ,

     

    Since the Value dynamic content from the "Get items" action is an array type and the flow would never check if it have only one piece of data, and although there is only one piece of data, it is still an array type of data, the flow would always add an apply to each to an array type of data to get the data in it.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice
