Hi all, new to this and building a flow but on certain elements where i need to write more i keep reaching my character limit and then the flow fails and comes up with this message.

The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Create_item' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: The API operation 'PostItem' requires the property 'item/Whatisdifferentandwhatadditional' to be a string of maximum length '255' but is of length '349'.

Any idea on where i start or what to do?

Thanks

Chris

Since you don't show your flow, I am not exactly sure what you are doing and what type of action the error is from. But based on the error, it sounds like you may be trying to populate a single line of text field with more than the maximum characters allowed in the creation of a list item. If so, update the SharePoint list so it is multiple lines of plain text or return just the first 255 characters of your string in the create item action with an expression such as substring(triggerBody()?['parameters'], 0, 255)
