Apply to each variable is only capturing one input

Posted on by LMT

I'm trying to create a variable that stores multiple SharePoint IDs. The workflow is all based on attachments. If there is more than one attachment in an email, the workflow will create a SharePoint item with a new ID for each attachment and then send/wait for an approval. The flow is not returning any errors, but it is only updating the first SharePoint item when I have multiple approvals because the variable is only capturing the first SharePoint ID to come through from the approvals. I need it to update the next SharePoint item as well. Thoughts?

Hi @LMT ,

The point is you are using "Set variable" in the first Apply to each which means you will only get the last ID because subsequent IDs always override previous IDs. To achieve your need, you actually need to initialize an array variable and in the first "Apply to each" use "Append to array variable" to get the array of all the IDs.

Hope this helps.
