Checking the value of multiple fieldnames using wildcard

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by dónal 8

Hi all

 

I have over 2 dozen question fields in an MS form and i am using a flow to check the answers.

 

If any answers are 'no' I am looking to record this in a string and an email it out (I'd be able to do this part ok).

 

Is there a way to search though a large number of questions, rather than creating a large condition.

 

quesiton1.value

question2.value etc

 

eg

for each field like fieldname = question

if questionXX.value = 'no'

 save questionTextXX.value and questionanswerXX.value to new string

    You can do this but the Forms field names are not relected properly rather they are in string form so for you to map these will be difficult.

    So for example this is the action i used to get my response from form

    So for example i know my form had a Name field  (in above picture its the test123 ) so i can reference that name field value with the following variable

    body('Get_response_details')?['r64f33f8782f3494dacc1e1505c23f7d8']

     

    But there is no way to find out the names of the field as the variables they get in form is a random string.

     

    Please click Accept as Solution if it resolved your problem or give it a Thumbs Up if it helped you in anyway this will allow other people to search correct solutions effectively.

    Thanks,

    Thanks Rahber

     

    Is there anyway that i could check " if any value in the form = No " (regardless of name)

     

    then I could add those to a string
