Hi, all--

I have a SharePoint list approval workflow created that uses the template that comes out-of-the-box from SharePoint. When I trigger the flow, there is a window in SharePoint that displays that asks for a message to the approvers, the required approvers, and reminder notification preferences. I would like to make the message to approvers field optional, which I've done in the Power Automate flow.

Here is the code:

    "kind": "ApiConnection",
    "splitOn": "@triggerBody()['rows']",
    "inputs": {
        "schema": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "rows": {
                    "type": "array",
                    "items": {
                        "type": "object",
                        "properties": {
                            "text": {
                                "title": "Request",
                                "type": "string",
                                "x-ms-dynamically-added": true,
                                "description": "Please enter your message sent to the approvers ",
                                "x-ms-content-hint": "TEXT"
 
In Create an Approval, there is an expression that is:if(empty(triggerBody()['text']),'No message included with the request',triggerBody()['text'])
 
If I enter a message, the flow runs without issue.  However, if I leave the message blank, I get the following error message:
Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Create_an_approval' inputs at line '0' and column '0': 'The template language expression 'triggerBody()['text']' cannot be evaluated because property 'text' doesn't exist, available properties are 'email, boolean, entity'. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions for usage details.'.
 
Any ideas?
