Unable to create flow for Multiple choice question from Microsoft Form to SharePoint Lists

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
Hi, I have a multiple choice question in my form that brings the answer in an Array/String format to my Sharepoint Lists which makes it impossible to filter rows based on the customer selected choice. Customer has to select Minimum of 3 and Maximum of 5 options from the question. The data comes to list like this ["Option 1","Option 2","Option 3"]
 
Where as I need it like this Option 1, Option 2, Option 3 where it would enable filters automatically in sharepoint lists to filter rows based on the selected choices. I already tried Compose, Initialize Variable, Select but everything throws me error. 
 
I am not a data guy..I watched the videos on youtube but no help.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKYFG1aYGKc&t=435s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7v_74eaDqU

    The JSON function is used to convert the varChoices text into an Array. Note the properties in the Map:
     


    When creating the item and specifying the value for the Features choice column, switch to "input entire array" then select the output of the Select action:

     

    Here is the runtime output
