sharepoint update item no accepting dynamic values

Hello,

 

Sharepoint update item seems to not be working correctly.

 

The item updates if I manually type in the values in the fields.

 

If I use a formula or a compose output to insert the values, it does not update, it runs without error and the fields do not change.

 

Also, about 2 days ago I notice the update item action would not even load into a flow correctly. It had an error and could not be expanded.

 

Could this be one of those issues we just wait until the system refreshes?

    While looking at the formula I found I was not accessing all the levels into the json structure correctly.

     

    This is on a execute sql query where you write your own query. There are no dynamic items for this action.

    I was using this to update the sharepoint item.

    body('employee_info')?['Table1']?['firstname']
     
    and it works without an error except there was no info displaying, the reason I was questioning.
     
    It should be this
    body('employee_info')?['ResultSets']?['Table1'][0]?['firstname']

    Could you provide the formula you are using for the dynamic content and some screenshots?  I'm not having any issues with update item this morning.
