Create item in Person or group SP List Column

Report

Posted on by mariaLP1610

Hello,

i have a flow and i want to get emails from a column in 'Users' List and create Approval Steps in Another List in SP named 'Lifecycle'.

The AssignedUser column in target Lifecycle List is Person or group. I enabled 'Allow multiple selections' because in some steps i have more than one Account participating.

I use a Filter Array Action and then a Select Action

The input expected in AssignedUser column is an array however

I get the error :

"Item could not be created. Check if input is valid.

Any ideas?

Additionally the output i am getting from Select action (for multiple accounts in Users list) is the following Array:
[
"test1@democompany.com",
"test2@democompany.com"
]

for a single account:
[
"test1@democompany.com"
]

Hi @mariaLP1610 ，

I did a test for your reference.

In my scenario:

Here's the multi-select person column that I need to copy:

My multi-select person is the 'allPerson' column.

Here's the multi-select people column of another list that I copied to:

My Flow:

items('Apply_to_each')?['MultiplePersonColumnName'] items('Apply_to_each_2')?['Claims'] { "Claims":@{items('Apply_to_each_2')?['Claims']} } items('Apply_to_each')?['Title']

When referencing my expression, note that the multi-select person column name is not the same, and be careful to change the multi-select person column name in the expression to your own.

Best Regards,

from what i understood from your example is that the target column expects its schema as follows:
[
{ "Claims": "user1@company.com" },
{ "Claims": "user2@company.com" }
]
Am i correct?
