Default add dynamic content field not appearing

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi Experts,

I have following doubt-

Suppose my entity name is X and it has "Assessment" as a column(Primary field) in CDS and here in flow is a compulsory field.  But I don't have data for that field returning from previous step. What should I do in that case?(For now, I have put Assessment as "interview_id" ). Here I am using "create new record" step in flow. What if I want to keep that as null?

Any help is appriciated.

Thank you

    Hello @Anonymous 

    The Assessment field is mandatory, so you can't leave it empty nor null. Therefore, you could fill it with a unique value using some kind of expression (for example, appending the age to the interview_id field):

    concat(body('previous_step)?['interview_id'],body('previous_step)?['age'])

    Hope it helps!

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    @fchopo 's suggestion would be good to meet your needs.

     

    You can add a condition and add some dummy value on the variable if the previous operation is empty.

     

    Hope this helps.
