    Hi,
     
    Please share the Actions, Inputs and outputs.
     
    You are putting the wrong thing in the Create Item.
     
    is SpecificLocation a String or a LookUp??? anyway you need to share.

    We are getting the same error in our flow. I believe, the cause in our case is as follows:
    • In the SharePoint list, the property is a CHOICE (=object..?)
    • In Power Automate, we try to write a STRING.
    That sounds reasonable... When looking into converting a string into an object, I tried a lot of things, but could not get it to work at that moment. A conversion should be easily possible:
     
    The solution in my case was:
    I used the "New designer" layout for Power Automate. I had changed the data type for the property from string to choice recently. The new designer layout did not inherit that datatype from SharePoint automatically.
    I switched to the 'old designer'. Maybe removing and re-adding the action would have refreshed the column/property data too.

Under review
