Pass null string to resourceLink when editing new Task

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello,

 

My workflow consists of pulling in data from a Microsoft Forms submission, creating and then populating a Planner Task from the data provided in the Forms. My issue arises with an optional URL field in the Form. Take a look:

My current attempt at a workaround was a conditional statement. However, when I try to add a conditional step, I receive the following: 'Flow save failed with code 'OpenApiOperationParameterValidationFailed' and message 'Input parameter 'body' validation failed in workflow operation 'Update_task_details_without_HTTPS_link': The API operation 'UpdateTaskDetails_V2' is missing required property 'body/references/0/resourceLink'.'.'

 

When I try to update the Planner Task, I am receiving the following error: "The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Update_task_details' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: Input parameter 'body/references/0/resourceLink' is required to be of type 'String/uri'. The runtime value '""' to be converted doesn't have the expected format 'String/uri'."

 

This occurs when I am taking a null string from optional HTTPS filepath in the Microsoft Form.

Is there a way to bypass this error so as to truly make the task update with a null string value if the user does not provide one in the Microsoft Form? Thank you.
