Create item in Person or group SP List Column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 54

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 ï¼Œ

    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:

    vyetonggumsft_0-1710416552497.png

    vyetonggumsft_8-1710416960248.png

     

    vyetonggumsft_9-1710417066378.png

     

    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?

    Hi @mariaLP1610 ,

    Yes, it looks like you've tried the flow I provided, good luck.

    Best Regards,

    Sunshine Gu
