Populating Lookup Fields from another table

Hi everyone, 

 

I'm in a bit of a pickle and would appreciate some guidance to resolve this. I have read numerous threads but none of the suggestions appears to be working for me. To summarise:

 

I am working on a flow to auto-create a project from a quote process - the flow runs fine till it gets to the add a new row where it keeps failing with the error URL was not parsed due to an ODataUnrecognizedPathException. Resource not found for the segment provided in the URL. As previously explained, I have read numerous threads which dictate to use the plural name etc.. all of whihc i have attempted.

 

i.e Project Categories, projectcategories, projectcategorieses, Project Categorieses and so on however, none of these appear to be working.

 

i will attach images below:

As you can see - it is finding the category guid fine and pulling it through

 

The make-up of the flow is :

The flow keeps failing here at project categories and no other fields are completed as of yet as. Please point me in the right direction 🙂

    Ok so I have figured this part out - rather than use the 'Project Categories' as displayed I had to use 'Categories' - rookie error 

     

    I'm now stuck with this error when trying to pull account data over The supplied reference link -- accounts() -- is invalid. Expecting a reference link of the form /entityset(key).

    it appears to keep pulling a null value - similar when using compose

    Accounts field sorted - now its a similar issue with Contractors (Contractor Accounts) URL was not parsed due to an ODataUnrecognizedPathException. Resource not found for the segment provided in the URL.

    Figured this issue out - it appears that with any account type, you need to use accounts i.e. accounts(contractoraccount) etc 🙂

    ok so i have 95% of the fields working correctly - the only issues im having now are with fields 

     

    Linked Quote (Quotes) - field to link a quote to a project 

    Linked Project (Projects) - field to link project to quote

    And the population of yes/no fields - I used a custom value and inputted the value of the selection from the quote form to transfer to the project form but the values do not transfer.

    oh how weird - so i figured this out - it seems to be categories i.e categories(quoterequestlink) etc.. same with project link

    So if any one is struggling with this in future the only three things i could get to work were - systemusers, categories & accounts but all is working fine 🙂

     

    Just to figure out the yes/no values now 🙂
