Microsoft Flow returning JSON of Sharepoint File Properties, Power App collection has boolean column

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I am returning a list of sharepoint file properties to a collection to further display in a gallery. The response is 200 with an object array of file properties:

Here is the operation of the button that will execute the request:

Here is what PowerApps thinks is the collection of the structure. Why is it showing a Boolean column, when my flow is returning an object array, and how can I force fileCollection to be the appropriate collection structure?

    In your collection try explicitly accessing Value - that contains the array - see if this helps. Or, try from Flow to return only the array under "Value" - not return the JSON itself with the single Value array in it. to do this in Flow add Compose Action and access the Value element of the previous JSON object earlier in Flow. See if this general approach may help.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    Based on the issue that you mentioned, I think there is something wrong with your flow's configuration.

     

    The user @AnnaCICI_Z has faced same issue with you, please check my response within the following thread:

    On your side, please consider specify proper JSON Schema value within the Response Body JSON Schema field of the "Response" action, then check if the issue is solved.

     

    Also please check and see if the following blog would help in your scenario:
