Re: update SharePoint people picker with multiple selection

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:

Thanks
