I Cannot import more than 255 characters to SharePoint list multiple line column using power automate. I am getting the error:

The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Create_item' of type 'OpenAPIConnection' is not valid. Error details: The API operation 'PostItem' requires the property 'item/inputvaule' to be string of maximum length '255' but is of length '10521'.

How to resolve this error message?

Hi @RobertJames ,

Please double check and share the column settings in SharePoint. Most likely you are trying to save a value that is longer than 255 characters in one or more columns of type Single line of text.
