Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi,

I have an automated flow to create an item in a SharePoint List from a Form submission (The form is linked to two different lists however this shouldn't be a problem and is just an FYI).

So this list is for Tasks submitted through the form however there are 14 possible entries on the form to enter tasks, therefore my automated flow is full of a lot of conditions to check the name of the question because each task filled in should create its own individual item in the list. This system works perfectly fine as it is and the list will only create items for the exact amount of tasks entered into the form.

My problem is that I want to have a picture attachment under each task and therefore need to add this into the power automate flow, so therefore below each 'create item' I need to add an 'apply to each' with an expression in so that I can set up adding an attachment. However in the apply to each there is no dynamic content available. Why is this the case? Its under the create item which has all the dynamic content it needs available.

Is this because it's under a condition?

I would greatly appreciate a reason as to why this is or even better a solution! Or is there an alternative way to adding the attachment?

I have attached an image of the flow to try and give you a picture of what it looks like which hopefully helps.

Thanks.

@Tom898 You have a lot of conditions in your flow. I would recommend that you adjust the logic of your flow. Instead of having all of those conditions you can simplify your flow structure by utilizing expressions and/or variables.

This way you only need to have a single create item action.
