PowerApps Collection -> JSON -> SharePoint List MText Colun -> PowerApps Collection

Dear PowerApp users, 
I have found much help in this forum but now struggling with a hard nut to crack and not sure if it is the best way to follow. 

 

1. PowerApp send/patch a collection(coll_Items) in JSON format to PowerAutomateFlow. The collection has fixed columns numbers/names but various number of rows. I trigger Flow like below:

 

PowerAutomateFlow_wrajer.Run(
varUserEmail,
varUserName,
JSON(coll_Items),
);

 

2. PowerAutomate Flow Parse JSON properly. I use "Apply to each" to create HTML table, create a confirmation Email with items list etc.

 

[ {
 "Dostawca": "asd",
 "FV": "123",
 "Kategoria": "Inne",
 "Nazwa": "aparat fotograficzny",
 "Nr": 6,
 "TempIlosc": 1,
 "Title": "6 aparat fotograficzny Inne",
 "Uwagi": "asdasd",
 "WarNetto": 123
 }]

3. I want to save each process/flow input information to SharePoint list that can be used back in PowerApps. My SP list has columns [ UserEmail, UserName, Date, JSON (Multi Line Text)] etc.]

SP record looks like (just text)

so using simple ClearCollect in PowerApps have following (Text) but want to have a Records Table like "Editor" Column. It will be only to view this record as a table (ex.Gallery)

Is there any way to save JSON to SP or import/convert a SP list to PowerApps to achieve my goal? Any suggestion may help

    Hi, based on what you have said above the easiest way would be to add a step to your flow to create a new SharePoint item, this would go into your apply to each section resulting in a new SharePoint record for each item. this would then be available in PowerApps and also ensure that the flow has run before adding the item. 

     

    If you definitely want to add it from PowerApps, you can use the ForAll() and Patch() functions, an example is below:

     

    ForAll([MyCollection],Patch([MyList],Defaults([MyList]),{Title:[MyCollectionColumnName],[Column2]:[MyCollectionColumnName2]})
