Importing data from Microsoft Forms to Sharepoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Hello,

I have a flow that takes data from Microsoft Forms and brings it to Sharepoint List upon approval.

 

The problem I am having is that for one of the Form text fields (long answer), when the user enters a comma in the Microsoft Form, the information for that field is not brought into the Sharepoint List. However, when there is no comma, the text is brought into the Sharepoint List.

 

The column type in Sharepoint List is "mutiple lines of text". Any ideas on why this is happening?

    Thanks @CFernandes . When I look at the raw inputs, the field is not populated. However, we are no longer experiencing the challenges when there are commas, but we still have the issue that sometimes the data is not  brought into the Sharepoint List... it works sometimes, but it doesn't work all the time...

    Can you check if the values in the Multiline text column are populated properly in Flow(you can check my screenshot for your reference).

    Hey Mate,

     

    In SharePoint Multi line text column property please set it to "plain text".

    Then run your Flow see if that gives you better results.
