Hi,
I have a similar problem as he.
I would like to copy the content of a multiselect column type into another SharePoint list using flow.
I tried to use the "select"- and after that the "join" operation. On every pass of the "apply to each" operation it ads only one and everytime the same user. I'm not sure what the select operation does when i enter this expression:
Share
Reportfirst(body('Get_items')?['Value'])?['personColumnName']this expression takes the "claims" inforrmation from the current item:
item()?['Claims']
Maybe someone can help me. @Anonymous @faustocapellanj @v-yuazh-msft
Thanks in advance.
Hey @Anonymous
It is kinda explainable, a lookup (or multi select) are actually IDs so if you want to copy these IDs you would need to compare the IDs of the item that you want to copy with the ID of your lookup list to be able to copy it in a lookup in a new list I think.
I achieved this with nintex but I would need to have a look if this is achievable with Flow.
But I think if you want to copy anyway there is no need to be a link between the original lookup list and lets say the archive list, you just want to know what has been selected back then. Well I would do it like that, maybe you want the specific lookup values in it I don't know.
Kind regards
Tom
i now wrote it in a multiline textfield too.
Too bad there is no solution.. Thanks anyway
Hey @Anonymous
The list where the copied content will be saved, does it have the same content type and fields in it?
It is possible to copy multi values to another list because I already did that once if I remember correctly.
But I copied the content to a multi line of text because copying values from a multi select to another multi select will not work.
Hope this helps a bit.
Kind regards
Tom
