    Hello @vivekpande18 

    Where do you place the below formula,

    [
     {
      "Claims": "User Claim1"
     },
     {
      "Claims": "User Claim2"
     }
    ]

    and also, 

    when you create the 'Apply to Each' function, when selecting the 'output' at the top what value did you use? 

     

    Thank you for any help!

    Hi @MohamedMo ,

     

    If you want to update multiple values in the person field, you should provide users #Claim. Like below

     

    [
     {
      "Claims": "User Claim1"
     },
     {
      "Claims": "User Claim2"
     }
    ]

     

    I have two lists in my case  List 1 & List 2

    List 2

    I want to update the users from Person field in List 2 to List 1 Person field.

    List 1

    Flow Steps:

    1- Get Items from List 2 & initialize variable

    Above variable will hold the value of users to update in another list. It should be array type.

     

    2- Build the users Claim

     Select 

    From : select the multi value person field from dynamic content

    Map : Calims | Select the person claim from dynamic content

     

    Variable

    Set the variable value with the Output of the Select action.

     

    3- Update

    Update the set variable.

     

    Output:

    vivekpande18_5-1653542541492.png

     

     

    Thanks
