Parallel Dynamic Approval - Update Item - Reviewers Person Look-up mandatory - error

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 651

Hi there, I am trying to configure a Flow for dynamic parallel approval i.e. a group of approvers approve - everyone in selected list type of approval.  

 

The last step - Update Item is failing.

When I originally built this flow, the Reviewers Claims field was not mandatory... now it is... something has changed.  I don't want the Reviewers column to be updated.  This is a person look-up field where the document author adds the reviewers... only the status and Reviewer comments should be updated.

 

I've tried to enter 'Current Item' and 'Reviewer claims' into this field... both return an error.

    Hi @Brice235i,

     

    If you don't want the Reviewers column to be updated, please just leave the Reviewers Claims Column blank.

     

    And update the Person type columnin sharepoint list is not supported in microsoft flow currently.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice

    Hi unfortunately leaving it blank returns an error.  It is a mandatory field.

    However, I have fixed the problem.  It was my variable I was using to set the responder response.  When I changed to Responder Display name it worked.

     

    For the Reviewers claim in the update item action I set it to Reviewers display name.

     

    Thanks anyway.
