Power Automate - Get item from List not retrieving Lookup Column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Michael_Anton_F 21

Hi,

I am trying to get the ID of the item in a List LookUp column. According to this guide, when I use get items on a list with lookups like this:

It should return me the Company:ID as a field.... but it doesn't. There is no trace of the linked column when I run the flow.

How do I get LookUp columns to show up?

    Hi @Michael_Anton_F,

     

    How did you configure that lookup column? Did you by any chance used the Title (linked to item) instead of the Title field?

     

    If so, can you change that setup to use the Title instead. You don't need the link to item. The lookup will create the link itself.

    I can reproduce your behaviour with the link to item field. It doesn't like that field 😁

     

    When you use the Title field it should show the lookup columns.

    Your solution ultimately worked. Only that it didn't seem to. Only when I opened "Compose" modul, did it show. But then it showed up everywhere...

    Thanks so much
