DevOps Flow - Child action is not ingesting parent Created By value into Assigned To field

Posted on by CU22010116-0

I am building a Power Automate flow for DevOps to generate default Tasks when a new User Story is created.

I want to have the 'Created By' value of the User Story used in the 'Assigned To' field of the generated Task.

This is not working.

When I test the flow, the raw output from the User Story is showing that the value is set, but the raw input on the Task shows that the Created By value is null.

I am using dynamic content to populate values, noting that the parent User Story URL placeholder is structured differently to the Assigned To placeholder.

Driving me crazy and unsure what I am doing wrong !!

Hi @CU22010116-0,

I see you are using the AssignedTo Field in your setup (and I also see two fields references as well). Can you use the Created By instead?

Can you correct that and use the below expression?

triggerOutputs()?['body/fields/System_CreatedBy']

Happy to help out 😁

Thank you for your answer!

I had tried to use a dynamic field, but clearly the insertion of fields.fields is not what is expected.

I applied the function as offered and it worked like a charm.

Thanks again.
