Hi,

I am making an API call and with the result, I need to create a record in dataverse table for each row.

I am getting this common error:

Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Add_a_new_row' inputs at line '0' and column '0': 'The template language expression 'items('Apply_to_each')['name']?['text']' cannot be evaluated because property 'text' cannot be selected. Array elements can only be selected using an integer index. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions for usage details.'.

The result of the previous step Parse JSON, I get:

{
"body": [
{
"id": "13c229e3-ab1d-4e3d-9f70-0ab45ac4f538",
"startDate": "2024-01-01",
"endDate": "2024-01-01",
"type": "National",
"name": [
{
"language": "ES",
"text": "Año Nuevo"
}
],
"nationwide": true
},
{
"id": "3107b89a-3546-48d1-be26-5a3446bf04d2",
"startDate": "2024-01-06",
"endDate": "2024-01-06",
"type": "Regional",
"name": [
{
"language": "ES",
"text": "Epifanía del Señor"
}
],
"nationwide": true
},

I did try with:

item()['name']?['text']

Same error.

Thanks for any help.

Hi @EmilioRoqueta69,

Name is an array. You can refer to the first and only item by using an index [0]

Try the below instead:

item()['name'][0]['text']

Hi mate!

Thanks for your help, for this column it works!!

But, I have same issue with other data in the same JSON

{
"id": "b0aaad54-ce7f-49f0-80fd-0c0493a3e634",
"startDate": "2024-11-01",
"endDate": "2024-11-01",
"type": "National",
"name": [

"nationwide": true
},

"text": "San Francisco Javier"
}
],
"nationwide": false,
"subdivisions": [

"code": "ES-NC",
"shortName": "NC"
}
]
}

Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Add_a_new_row' inputs at line '0' and column '0': 'The template language expression 'item()?['subdivisions'][0]['shortName']' cannot be evaluated because property '0' cannot be selected.

Please note that the object "subdivisions" is not always available in the records.

I did try with:

item()?['subdivisions'][0]['shortName']
item()['subdivisions'][0]['shortName']

And I get the same error message.

Hi, me again...

I have a response of an Approvals step in Power Automate

And I want to get the "comments" of the approver.

On the body outcome, I have:

{
  "responses": [
    {
      "responder": {
        "id": "f60ceb5e-c091-4523-9f9b-4379d1fd7abd",
        "displayName": "Emilio Roqueta",
        "tenantId": "cb2e1a8c-fc01-4544-b000-3f23276c7031"
      },
      "requestDate": "2024-05-21T10:24:58Z",
      "responseDate": "2024-05-21T10:25:16Z",
      "approverResponse": "Approve",
      "comments": "IT IS OKAY"
    }
  ],
  "responseSummary": "Approver: Emilio Roqueta\r\nResponse: Approve\r\nRequest Date: Tuesday, May 21, 2024 10:24:58 AM\r\nResponse Date: Tuesday, May 21, 2024 10:25:16 AM",
  "completionDate": "2024-05-21T10:25:17Z",
  "outcome": "Approve",
  "name": "defd0275-8d3f-4444-b66f-ef3f34bda3a2",
  "title": "New Holiday Request",
  "details": "Type:         Holiday\nStart Date: 29/05/2024\nEnd Date:  29/05/2024\nWork Days: 1\nComments: ",
  "requestDate": "2024-05-21T10:24:58Z",
  "expirationDate": "9999-12-31T23:59:59Z",
  "priority": "Medium"
}

So, I want to get:  "comments": "IT IS OKAY"

I use:

outputs('ApprovalAndWait')?['responses']?[0]['comments']

It does not make an error, but I do not get the value of comments.

Thanks for any help!

Hi @EmilioRoqueta69,

As you mention it is within the body, so you will need to add the body property in your expression as well.

Please try

outputs('ApprovalAndWait')?['body']?['responses']?[0]['comments']
