Creating an item using dynamic fields from multiple lists

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

I am trying to create an item on a new (List 3) when items are modified from another list (List 1). The fields in the new list (List 3) will need to contain fields from 2 different lists (one where the item is modified (List 1) and the other which contains other relevant background information (List 2)).

 

I have been able to create item using just List 1. However List 3 contains fields needed from List 2 so these are currently blank as I am currently stuck on getting the items from List 2 and consolidating it into the new list (List 3) with the created item. Does anyone have any advice?!

 

Thanks in advance!

    Hi @MicrosoftUser1 

    Could you search for the item in List 2 based on a specific field? You could do something like this:

    1) Get items from list2 based on title from list1

    2) Get the first item you get from previous step.

     Using the expression: 

    first(outputs('Get_items-List2')?['body/value'])

    You would get the desired item from List 2.

    Hope it helps!

    Hi Ferran, thanks for your quick reply!

     

    Unfortunately the above did not work. So I would need to get mutliple fields. There are 5 columns in List 1 and 4 columns in List 2 to be consolidated into List 3, when a specific column in List 1 is modified from "no" to "yes". Do you have any advice for this?

     

    Thanks,

    The point is... Which is the relation  between List 1 and List 2 ? How do you find related records? By Title column? By any other column?
