I have to fill a word template with data and I use Populate a Microsoft Word template with dynamicfileschema
but a field is of type "repeating content" and instead of inserting the correct values it shows the JSON (if I don't use dynamicfileschema it works perfectly)

i have to use dynamicfileschema because the template file can change slightly and i have too many templates to manage them individually

varMyTable is an JSON Array

the results is

the example uses the "Populate a Microsoft Word template" connector in the "standard" way, and this way it works for me too, but I have to (want) to use it with dynamicfileschema to avoid making a case for each template slightly different (I have 1000 to manage) and using dynamicfileschema as in the examples found, only the standard controls work and not the type "repeating content"

I think it's displaying it as plain text because it doesn't recognise it as JSON. Can you pass your variable into a json expression before you add it to the dynamic schema and see if that works.

json(variables('output'))

I want to thank you for this! This JSON was messing me up so badly, it being that I had quotes when I didn't need them is silly.

It finally got it!

I'm using an ArcGIS Survey123 trigger, making a report, then adding a table of data that I pulled from another hosted feature layer to combine things into a single document.
