Create List Item MultiValue Person or Group Fails

Posted on by pstudart

When I leave the Approvers and Distribution Fields Empty the create item works.

When I set Approvers and Distribution from get file properties it does not work, When I hit the array button it reveals alot more types of selections for the multivalue person or group fields. I tried to use claims but that also fails. What should I be using in these scenarios?

Hi @pstudart

You can use email to update the person or group column types.

Thanks

Hi @pstudart

If you have multiple person or group then use the following

[
{
"Claims": "1234@test.com"
},
{
"Claims": "abcd@test.com"
}
]

When I switch the columns to array and add the Approvers email and distribution email I get the error message about about nest loops.

When I select Approvers Email and Distribution email property it auto adds a apply to each loop. I didn't do it myself.

Hi @pstudart

Remove both apply to each loop. Declare an array (two) and store the values for Approvers and Distribution. Then add the update item and set each array for approvers and distribution.

I put the approver and distribution fields into array variables and put them in the create item and i am getting this error message.

The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Create_item' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: The API operation does not allow writing a value for parameter 'item/Approvers[0]/DisplayName'. This parameter is read only.

Thanks for the Video but I doesn't hit on what I'm trying to do.

I have List A and List B they share the same content type and have a multi person or group field called approvers.

I run a flow on list A that creates a record in list B
When I create the item in list B I want to set the approvers field in list B to the the approvers values from list A.

Thanks for taking the time to help me.
