Power Automate - 'Variable' actions and triggers

Hello,

The function ' Append to array variable' within Power Automate is not allowing me to enter a mandatory field ' Name'.

Earlier I could enter a name of my choosing, but now there is a drop down menu with no options appearing to choose from.

Please find a screenshot attached of the same.

    For example, if the respondent selects 'Several days' for 3 of the 4 options, the score should add up to 3. This calculation with the help of a flow.

     

    Was I able to explain it well?

     

    Additionally, if respondent chooses 'More than half the days' for 2 options and 'Several days' for 1, the score would be 2+2+1 = 5.

    @SrujanaBapam 

    Can you give me an example of a sample input and what you want the result to be?  When you say "calculate it". what do you want calculated?

    Not at all - 0, Several days - 1, More than half the days - 2 and Nearly every day - 3 . Initialize a variable to convert the responses to array and calculate it

    Suppose I want to create a variable that scores based on a likert scale question response, any idea how would I do that using POwer Automate?

    @SrujanaBapam 

    The variable shown is initialized as an integer and not an array.  You need to have an array to use the append to array action.

    Can you post a screen shot showing where you initialize your variable as well as the Append to array action?
