Hi,

Probably an easy one but I'm stuck. Hopefully someone can help please.

I have a button which will create a number of different Planner tasks. The OnSelect formula is:

ForAll(Tasks,Planner.CreateTaskV2(OPGplanId,TaskTitle,{bucketId:TestbucketId,dueDateTime:DatePicker1.SelectedDate+TaskAddDays,assignments: LookUp(Roles, EmployeeRole = TaskAssignedTo, EmployeeId)}))

All is working fine, except the 'assignments' part - I don't think I'm quite getting my head around the LookUp. I am trying to find the id for the assignments on another table that lists all the roles.

My 'Tasks' table looks like:

Task Title	TaskAddDays	TaskAssignedTo
Test task 1	1	Head of Shared Services
Test task 2	2	Head of Customer Services
Test task 3	3	PRO

My 'Roles' table looks like:

EmployeeRole	EmployeeId
Head of Shared Services	one@sample.com
Head of Customer Services	two@sample.com
PRO	three@sample.com

Can anyone help please?

Thanks!

Hey @Anonymous, try this:

ForAll( Tasks, Planner.CreateTaskV2( OPGplanId, TaskTitle, { bucketId: TestbucketId, dueDateTime: DatePicker1.SelectedDate + TaskAddDays, assignments: LookUp(Roles, EmployeeRole = Tasks[@TaskAssignedTo], EmployeeId) } ) )

These nested operations can be tricky to sort out but my guess is that using the disambiguation operator should help the LookUp to operate in the correct scope.
