Posted on by Ezzyy798

Good Day,
So I've been stuck with this since yesterday and I don't know where to put the function 'turn from array to string'. This is my template, and I use List data to fill the blank in the template:

this is my List which I have trouble with the multiple choice(s)

with my existing flow that I've created without turn the array first, the template become like this:

(I just copy my template word's html and then paste it inside Compose data operation flow)

The result is an error on a variable of type array. So I've tried several ways that I found on google but still can't solve it. This is the flow I'm trying to create

The thing is I don't know where to put the variable since I got several types of array and how can I entered it inside my template's html like this:

I'd be glad and thankful if anyone can help me. Thanks in advance

Hi @Ezzyy798

Sorry for late response,

May i know how you need to enter the multi choice values, is the values should be seperated by some delimiter like comma while entering details in template ?

Kindly let me know 🙂

Hi @Nived_Nambiar

Only these fields are multiple choice. The rest of the docs has string data type for the values
Thanks

Hi @Ezzyy798

I think there is some mistake while specifying the dynamic content.

see below

For apply to each , select To be Inspected, for appending purposes, select To Be Inspected value.

and outside the loop, join it

This is To be Inspected column in my case

Alternatively, another way to try same is like below using select action.

Result of this flow would be like this

Hope this helps !

Mark it as solution if it resolves your query !

Hi @Nived_Nambiar
Thanks for the solutions, it works at most of the variables but I still have a problem with several parts of it.

This is the error that I got, it says error because the data type is an Object

And this is the values on my list for that specific column error
Do you happen to know why there's still some error in it? All the error only affect the list that has only 2 values on its column, though I don't think all the column were Boolean type.

Thanks in advance
