Convert Form response Text into a Yes/No Column in SharePoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 181

Good morning all.

 

I have a form which staff have to complete for certain tasks, I need this form copied into a sharepoint list which is no problem.

 

However, the column on the SharePoint list is a Yes/No (checkbox) column, this means I can't literally copy the response because you can't use dynamic content with this type of formatting in power automate. So, is there an expression I can use, to convert the response from the form (Yes or No) into this particular field?

 

I tried using update item immediately after create an item but that just wiped the whole row.


I cant change the column format because it needs to be a slider in powerapps not a dropdown.

    @Angry_Sys_Admin add a string variable (which in this example I've named varSatisfied) and for the value select the Forms question that had the Yes/No answer:

    Then add a compose action and add the following expression:
    if(equals(variables('varSatisfied'),'Yes'), true, false)


    In your create item action, for the Yes/No column select the outputs of the compose action.
