Receiving wrong datatype from Flow

Posted on by AdrienBeaussier

Hello,

I have a Flow that retrieves the max ID of a SharePoint column. When I test it, the return value is OK, but When I call it from PowerApps it won't work.
I want to receive an integer.
If I put a Respond To PowerApps, I get a Record that contains an ID, but thats not and int :

My flow with a respond to Powerapps

Here is the output
If I put a Compose, even though Flow is said to sent an int, PowerApps receives it as a boolean :

My flow with a Compose

Here is the output with a Compose

Here is my function :

add(outputs('Obtenir_les_éléments').body?.value[0].ID,1)

Here is how I call my Flow, on a basic button

Set(selectedId;GetMaxElementFromColumn("ID"))

I hope you can help me,
Adrien

Hi @AdrienBeaussier

Typecast your add expression with an int

example: int(add(1,1))

Flow responding to PowerApps creates issues with Number type for some reason

Hello @RezaDorrani and thanks for your quick answer

I modified my expression to
int(add(outputs('Obtenir_les_éléments').body?.value[0].ID,1))
but it still won't work, I receive a Record.
I've refreshed my flows, tabs and app.
What did I do wrong ?

@AdrienBeaussier

Return type schema is always of "type": "object" which would be a record

Just parse through the record in PowerApps and get your data

example - testflow.Run().numberval

tesflow - name of flow

numberval - name of output being returned from PowerApps to Flow
