Flow does not return any values in Get Items with a filter query

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 546

I have a Power Automate Workflow that uses 2 SharePoint lists.

The first list, someone completes a form and there is a choice field called “Learning Sessions” with possible values of “Emergency Medicine”, “Family Medicine”, and “Pediatrics”.

The person selects “Emergency Medicine” and “Family Medicine”.

I append to an array variable called arrSessions. When I compose arrSessions I see this when I run the flow:

[

  {

    "Value": "Emergency Medicine"

  },

  {

    "Value": "Family Medicine"

  }

]

Enter my second list.

I’m trying to get the appropriate department email for each department. When I do a get items for this with no filter query, I return every item in the list like you would expect, when I append to a string variable strPrimaryEmailAddress.

When I hard code in Department eq ‘Emergency Medicine’ for the filter query it returns the email address for that department.

When I put in Department eq ‘Output’, meaning the compose results from my array up above, the append to string variable gets skipped.

I’ve checked in list 1 - Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, etc are all spelled the same way. Both lists have them as choice fields.

I’ve been staring at this for a couple of hours. Anyone have any thoughts?
