When ‘Choice’ item is modified in Sharepoint List, add new value to 2nd Sharepoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Thought I had this done, but obviously doing something wrong as although the flow is processing, the fields of the 2nd List are not being updated.

 

When user selects an option from a 'Choice' column in a Sharepoint List, I want to add that new value to a field in another Sharepoint List. The individual record line in each list has the same Unique ID for matching.

    Hi @WallacD_31 ,

     

    I have made a simple test for your reference.

     

    1. Here are my lists.

    2. Here is my Flow.

    [
     {
     "Value": Dynamic Content
     }
    ]
    length(outputs('Get_items')?['body/value'])
    {
     "Value": @{items('Apply_to_each_2')?['Value']}
    }
    union(variables('VarArray2'),variables('VarArray1'))

    Many thanks Charlie. I think I understand this. Will give it a go tomorrow and let you know how I get on 🙂

    Unfortunately (and this is a reflection on my knowledge) I'm struggling to prevent the first array from being swallowed into an 'Apply to each'. Is there a way I can do this?

    Hi @WallacD_31 ,

     

    Maybe you could check the source(Trigger/Action) of the dynamic content.
