Hi Power Apps community

 

I hope someone can help me with an issue I'm having with my Combo box. Here is my workflow

1) Select Multiple users from combobox

2) Information goes in to my Power Automate Flow for Approval.

 

Issue is it is only registering as if I selected one user and multiple users

 

It seems to only be taking one person and not multiple which Im not sure why?

Allow multiple selection is switched on also so kinda not sure what else to look at, hoping it isn't something right in front of me>!

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance with this!

    Hi @Masum172,

     

    There might be an issue with the way you are entering the ComboBox value as a parameter to your flow. In case of multiselection, you should not enter the combobox parameter as 'ComboboxName.Selected' (will only send 1 person) but as 'ComboboxName.SelectedItems' (which is a table value).

     

    How I usually send table values to Power Automate is by converting the table to a string and using the Parse JSON action in Power Automate to read out the (text/json) table data. The parameter passed to your flow should look as follows:

    JSON(ComboboxName.SelectedItems)

     

    From within Power Automate, you can read out this text/json data via the Parse JSON action which will give you an array of people/users.

     

    If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution.

    Thanks!
