Finance 'Get a Record' asking for two key values but only provides one input box

I'm attempting to do some testing with data from a Finance application, but for some reason the flow action for getting a record is saying that I need to provide the values for two keys for lookup, not just the item id (no clue why this would be a requirement). However, there's only one input in the action, and I don't know how to format a multi-key lookup.

(I deleted all the values for security reasons; when filled in, there's still only one box for Object Id).

The actual error message itself (I left the key columns out of the screenshot).

I experienced the same thing and solved it today. The entity I was trying to get a record from had two keys. The legal entity and the purchase order number. We added both and it kept failing. So eventually we added a comma between the two keys and made sure it was placed in the correct order (Legal entity and then purchase order) and it worked. If we had them in a different order (PO then Legal Entity) it did not work, and if we removed the comma it did not work. Good luck and I hope this helps! 🙂

Yeah, that's what we figured out as well. Unfortunately, after that we ran into the issue of the action absolutely insisting we had to provide a value to update a field with despite it being read only, thus preventing the action from ever being accomplished. I have no clue why an update action would have required fields when logically any record created would have to go through the non-nullable field rules set up for the model, but that's the way Microsoft designed it I guess.
