Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi Everyone,

I've recently been designing a flow that does the following:

Person fills out form
Response is gathered and the details are posted in a channel as an adaptive card for review using the "Post an Adaptive Card to a teams channel and wait for response action"
Adaptive card then updates when it is reviewed.

I have however been getting the error:

The request failed. Error code: 'InvalidJsonInBotAdaptiveCard'. Error Message: 'Microsoft.Azure.ProcessSimple.Data.Entities.Exceptions.ProcessSimpleDataException: The specified Teams flowbot adaptive card request is missing or invalid. The tracking Id is '{0}'. ---> Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException: After parsing a value an unexpected character was encountered: A. Path 'body[15].columns[1].items[0].text', line 302, position 39.

I seem to have isolated the issue down to the fact the adaptive card does not like a 'choice' variable from the form, because as soon as I remove it from the adaptive card, it seems to work fine. Would any of you know how to fix the below adaptive card so it knows how to comprehend the multiple choice variable. I have highlighted the problematic variable in red.

Adaptive Card:
