Using a flow in PowerApps - Message error Invalid argument type (Record). Expecting a Text value instead.

Hi,

 

I created a flow using a template "Send approval and follow up via Teams", I added this flow in my app, I created a button to launch the flow and assign the different values requested in my flow but I get this error message. Do you know why?

    Hi Warren,

    Hi Warren,

     

    Thank you for your message.

    It worked but now I have a different error message:

    Do you have an idea?

    Hi @DamMat ,

    I suspect TravelPurpose.SelectedText will be the issue - it needs to specify the field in the control - whatever TravelPurpose.Selected.???? is (Value or Field Name)
