I am trying to update auto generated "Created By" column to reflect value of "Resource Name" column of the same SharePoint list.
What I am doing wrong please ?

The problem is that I don't want to update email id manually. I want it to pick up resource name or email from the column "Resource Name" of the same SharePoint list
My SharePoint List Update before:
My SharePoint List Update after:
My Flow:
Uri: _api/web/Lists/GetbyTitle('<List Tttle>')/items(<Item ID>)/ValidateUpdateListItem Headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose", "Content-Type": "application/json; odata=verbose" } Body: { "formValues": [ { "__metadata": { "type": "SP.ListItemFormUpdateValue" }, "FieldName":"Author", "FieldValue":"[{'Key':'i:0#.f|membership|Resource Name Email'}]" } ] }
I tried this but getting below error
Is your Resource Name column a multi-select person column?
Please go to the editing interface and show me a screenshot of the parameters of the action in your flow.
Like this:
Yes, the resource name column was by mistake set to multiple select, which I have now unselect.
Have you changed the Resource Name column from a multi-select person column to a single-select person column?If so, refer to the information I provided above and recreate this flow.
Hi @Poojalodha ，
