Does user's claim uniqley identify the user internal and external

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 3,514

We have 2 SharePoint lists:-

 

1) ListA

 

2) ListB

 

listB stores the following:-

 

UserID, UserName, VP

 

ListA stores the following info:-

 

Title, ListB ID (lookup), UserName & VP.

 

now we have defined a workflow when item is created or modified inside list A , to read the ListB Username & VP and update list A. here is a screen shot of my flow, where i am basing my comparison & assignment based on the user's claim:-

so is my approach valid?

Thanks

    Hi @johnjohn123 

     

    You are nearly there except the lookup id is referenced as wrong.

     

    The lookup Id ListBId will be returned as follows:

     

    {
      "@odata.type""#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
      "Id"102,
      "Value""102"
    }
     
    What you need to do is Add a Parse JSON Step and generate the schema based on the sample data above. Then in the subsequent steps you can get Id which in my case 102.
     
    Thanks

    Hi @johnjohn123 

     

    I am not asking to modify the lookup field. My suggestion is how to extract the lookup Id. 

     

    What error you getting?

     

     

    Thanks
