Create item lookup column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 31

Hello,

 

I want to create a flow for a sharepoint list.

I have an app which is writing to SharepointList1. (Project ID, Project Name)

I have a sharepoint list database (Database) which has: Project ID, Project Name and so on. 

I have another list (SharepointList2) which i am using to patch data from PowerApps form based on Database.

Project Name column is a lookup column from Database list.

So when a form is submitted in PowerApps, i lookup based on Project Name and i add other columns too.

 

Now i want to create a flow that when an item is created in a list (SharepointList1), i want to create that item in my SharepointList2 like it was submitted from my PowerApps.

I am checking if Project Name are equals. But in my list i have that lookup column. So when i create an item, i want to select the Project Name value from my lookup column based on that value from first list.

 

I have this error:

If i add int(...) it gives me:

    Hello @andrasetof30 ,

    you must use ID of the item in the "lookup" list to update the lookup column, e.g. if I have list1 with lookup column to list2, I must update the item in list1 with the ID of the item in list2 - just the number, not the value.
