    Hi @Dronzer10 ,

     

    Why did you use the 'question id' value in the row id column?

    The row id column 's value is a guid value. It's unique.

    Hello,

     

    Question id is "items('Apply_to_each')['Question ID'])". This is also I am using in Filter array. I am also not sure what to put in this area, frankly speaking. As I am passing an array of items and this update should run for all of these items. I am attaching the screenshot of error .

    Hi @Dronzer10 ,

     

    As I said before, flow needs to know which record you want to update.

    Every record in dataverse has a guid value. When the recored is created, the guid value is automatically generated.

    Correct, See I am attaching a screenshot which I have used in other flow. Here I am extracting the 1st record. The outputs from Compose i am using for Update the record. 

    But here I am trying to get the array of records so I am facing the challenge. How I will get the row id in the present case.

    Please advise.

    Hi @Dronzer10 ,

     

    In your case, you are getting the value of the 'qustionid' column for your firsr item in the 'compose' action.

    If you want to get the id of this item , I did a sample for you.

    vxiaochenmsft_1-1644301426824.png

     

    first(outputs('List_rows')?['body/value'])?['crba2_testl16id']
    // The column name you could find in the dataverse table . In my sample , its name is crba2_testl16id.

    In addition, if you want to get records' ids (array), you could use select action.

    Correct for the array of items, I am using select and the compose. But I am not getting what to use in row id at  Update a row operation. If I am using the Outputs of the compose its still give me error. I am attching the screen shot of this error.
