Hello @v-dezhili-msft
Thanks for your response. But the ouput is coming in the format of {"name1", "name2"}. How to avoid these unwanted characters and updates only name1, name2 in the field.
In my test my Name column is a single-line text column, they are Name1, Name2, Name3,. . . . This format arrangement does not appear {}.Could you please show a screenshot of your flow and what it looks like after the data is stored in SharePoint?
If you look at the output in the above screenshot, it is getting saved in the same format in List column as well. How to get rid of these special characters?
Can I check your select action?
Hello @v-dezhili-msft ,
Sure. please find the attached screenshot below and help me out.
Please click where I circled.
Then put item()?['DisplayName'] in it.
I believe it is already updated same as you mentioned. Please find the attached screenshot. Do I need to delete the existing one and replace with the formula that you have mentioned?
Delete them first, and then only need item ()? ['DisplayName'].

Worked. Thanks for the great help!
