Send an HTTP request to SharePoint - Multiple Choice Column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 86

Hi all, 

 

I'm having an issue I can't figure out while sending an HTTP request to SharePoint to create a list item.

 

The error is:

"status": 400,
 "message": "An unexpected 'PrimitiveValue' node was found when reading from the JSON reader. A 'StartArray' node was expected.

 

Here is the flow. 

multi-choice-flow1.png

 "results": "variables('varArrayChoices')"

 

Upon failure here is the 'Send an HTTP request to SharePoint' output:

 

{ 
 "__metadata": {
 "type": "SP.Data.IT_x0020_PMO_x0020_Project_x0020_TimelinesListItem"
 },
 "Title": "This is a test - 1",
 "Workstream": {
 "__metadata": {
 "type": "Collection(Edm.String)"
 },
 "results": "[{"Value":"Unity"},{"Value":"SPOT"},{"Value":"Dash"}]"
 }
}

 

Please help!

Thanks

    Hi , @greddin1 

    Thanks for your response! I test it in my side ,,, I encounter the same code in your side.

    You do not need to pass the __metadata for Multiplie Choices Column, Like this:
