Collections are arrays in Power Apps. So the way to do this would be to embed the collection as a property in another collection.

ClearCollect(myCollection, {array1: ClearCollect(Collect1,{test: "A"},{test: "C"},{test: "B"})})

HI,

thanks for your answer. The problem is my Response comes via power automate.

And it comes like:

[ {
"Value1": "1",
...
"Array": [ {
"value1" : 1
"value2": 2
} , {
"value1": 2
"value2": 3
}]
}
]

How would i get this parsed into a collection ? (i display it all in a gallery)

You can capture the return from Power Automate as a collection and then add that collection to the second collection by embedding it in a record with a key.

Are you sure you added an appropriate schema to the HTTP response under advanced properties? If you don't then Power Apps won't be able to interpret the results.
