Removing Quotations from Dynamic Content being extracted from MS Forms into an email

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by
I am very new to power automate with limited to no coding experience, I have designed a form for my boss to complete for client meeting prep. It is a simple MS forms where he check off the required updates and documents he require for the upcoming meeting. I want the answers to be emailed to myself and another colleague. I have successfully created the flow but the output looks like this:
 
In a perfect world I would like to have the Dynamic Outputs for each category (Financial Planning Preparation, Net Worth Statement Preparation ect.) to be displayed as a bulleted list or at the least a nice list without the square brackets and quotes.
 
Currently my flow looks like this:

    This is something I struggle with every time I have a form that allows multiple choices. I am currently working on a workflow with a form that has multiple-choice responses. Try the following expression:
     
    join(
      if(
        and(
          equals(outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/your_forms_response_question'], null),
          true
        ),
        createArray(),
        if(
          startsWith(
            trim(outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/your_forms_response_question']),
            '['
          ),
          json(outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/your_forms_response_question']),
          array(outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/your_forms_response_question'])
        )
      ),
      ', '
    )
     
    Note, this will return the responses comma-separated, which is all that I need. To create a bulleted list will pose additional challenges. Hopefully someone has an easy way to achieve that.
     
    Example of the output:
    Although, if your choices contain commas like mine does, you may want to separate them with a semicolon or something else instead.
