Need help with looping over data from a child flow to a parent flow (Nested Flow) in Power Automate Solution to display on Power Apps

Hi everyone,

 

I am currently building a Nested Flow in Power Automate.

I have created both Child and Parent Flow successfully, however there is a major problem.

 

When trying to implement the Flow into Power Apps, all the data I want to call through the Nested Flow are visible. However they are in a manner which I can't create a gallery with since my collection in Power Apps only has one row in which all the data from the nested flow is stored instead of multiple rows as intended and set in my JSON schema. 

 

I found out that this is due to the child flows response being an array which I am responding with the premium http connector "Response" to the parent flow. However the parent flows standard connector "Respond to a PowerApps or Flow" apparently can't read such an array and returns the data as a string which I can't manage to separate.

 

Is there any way to solve this problem? I really need the Parent Flow to return something in a scheme where there are multiple rows so I can create a gallery in Power Apps. 

 

For reference: Picture 1 shows the child flow & picture 2 the parent flow

Unfortunately I cannot show the SOQL query due to sensitive data but both flows work.

    @SabineNguyen  you can return array from Power Automate to Power Apps and use Parse Json function in PowerApps to create the table from the array returned by Power Apps, reference https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/power-platform/power-fx/working-with-json
