Hi All, can anyone with better knowledge please help?

I am trying to pass a Json to a power automate from powerapps, but an array of object keeps getting sent, even when I enclose the passed object in a JSON. I am passing this;

Set(
 response,
 Update_doc_tag.Run(
 JSON(
 {
 metadata_storage_path: galleryResults.Selected.metadata_storage_path,
 tags: (Tags).Value
 }
 )
 ).response
);

The tags above is a collection of strings And the expected schema in power automate is this:

{
 "metadata_storage_path": "fsdfFSDGDGSAHGDHASHJSDAJHDSAJHASHSASA2",
 "tags": [
 "victor",
 "ricky"
 ]
}

But it gets to power automate like this:

"metadata_storage_path": "ywttwetewwehhjhajdjhjddds",
	"tags": [
		{
			"Value": "schools"
		},
		{
			"Value": "jobs"
		},
		{
			"Value": "victor"
		}
	]

which causes a failed schema error.

Can someone please help with how to pass an array of strings in the tags, please?

Thanks

Hi @onyebuchiboss ,

I did a test for you:
1\ Add a button control and set its onselect property to :
ClearCollect(tags,{Value:"schools"},{Value:"jobs"})

2\ Add a button control and set its onselect property to :
Test44.Run(JSON({metadata_storage_path:"Test",tags:tags.Value}))

3\ Build an instant flow 'Test44'.
Generate from sample:
{ "metadata_storage_path": "Test", "tags": [ { "Value": "test2" } ] }

4\ The result is as follows:
