For a selected item trigger, no way to rectify error in creating an item

Posted on by 10

Hi, would really appreciate the help of anyone!

I am facing an issue where I want to run a flow for a selected item and create another item in a different list with some inputs, I created the inputs matching the column formats and yet face this issue where the flow says - "Item could not be created. Check if input is valid."

 

For more context, I am using 2 date fields, 2 text fields with a drop down list of items, 3 plain text fields and 3 number fields.

and the list I want to create an item has 3 lookup fields stored in the list record from where I want to trigger the flow, to do this I am using 'get item' to get all fields of the selected item and using some of the selected item fields and some of the input fields in the column to create a record in the other list.

The list where I want to create the record has - 3 lookup columns (to be loaded from the trigger list using get item), 2 date fields (from the flow inputs), 3 plain text fields (from the flow inputs), 2 choice fields (from the flow input with a drop-down) and 3 number fields (from the flow inputs)

 

Any help from anyone would be very appreciated!

Thanks!

    Hi @asadsayy,

     

    I guess the issue is caused when update choice column, please try to use the value of the column, for example:

    @v-litu-msft ,Sorry for the delay! Found out I made an error when I chose the "lookup" column instead of "lookup+value" 

     

    Thanks a lot for your help!
