Hi All! I'm quite new to power automate

 

I have this main sharepoint list :

and I want to get approver from another list by matching department

pw23_1-1709014651876.png

 

I already try making the flow like this : When the items created --> Get items --> Update item

pw23_7-1709015121130.pngpw23_9-1709015199157.png

 

but the flow failed in "update item" part. I open the error parameter and the get items approver filled perfectly. But the error message said that they could not find the list

    Hi @pw23 ,

    Please switch to classic designer.

    My Flow:

    Re-create the flow to avoid unnecessary loops.

    Pay attention to the source of dynamic content.

    I have pointed the sources of dynamic content used below with arrows.
