Hi All

I've created a system that auto fills a word document and saves it down. it worked fine till i put in a repeating control at which point it looks to work with in flow but when trying to open it i get the following error

looking at the inputs it looks to have selected what i want (it's only 1 column)

the raw inputs look fine too

i will point out that with just the one column in a repeating table it's very fiddly to select the right thing, is it possible i could have borked it somehow? i have recreated the table 3 times all giving the same problem, i've tested it with out the table between each go and it's definitely the table that's causing the issues.

here's a bit more of the flow if that helps

Thanks in advance

Are you able to show the output of your array variable after the loop has completed? I can't see any issues with what you currently have.

Re: repeatable line autofill breaking the word document

the repeating table should not be called that, that was my mistake from recreating the table. this is what i've actually got now

Re: repeatable line autofill breaking the word document

I can't see any issues with the flow itself. What you would need to check is the Word Template to ensure the Repeating Table (according to your flow) has the name 1449503187, and the control within the Repeating Table named as meter (I also believe it's case sensitive). What you have in your flow needs to match the names exactly.

Are you able to show what you have in your Word Template?

Many thanks in advance

I've not got access to my work machine for a few days but yes it's the populate a word template. The rest of the flow is just pulling the data from dataverse, initializing the variable and then after the screen shots serving it on SharePoint and the sending it in an email

Re: repeatable line autofill breaking the word document

Are you able to show the rest of your flow? Just to confirm, are you using the action Populate a Microsoft Word template to create the Word document?
