Hello, I need your help again, I have created a flow that when creating an item in SharePoint I generate a directory tree, but the problem is when I want to update the field that indicates that the directory was created because when using the SharePoint update item, and updating all the fields, there are a couple that are multi-selection, That is, you can select 1 or more options in the field, I have not been able to find the option that allows me to save those types of fields

How do I tell you to maintain the value that the field already has?

For multi-choice fields, you have to use a Select action to parse the multi-choice selection from the Get Item action.

In the from field, insert the dynamic content of the multi-choice column. Important: Ensure you are selecting the multi-choice column — not the multi-choice column value dynamic content.

In the key field, enter Value with a capital V. In the value field, insert the multi-choice value dynamic content.

In the Create Item action, select the icon to switch the input mode.

Insert the output from the Select action.
