'String' is not convertible to type/format 'String/uuid'

Posted on by CharlotteWest

I've created a flow with the intention of taking results from a Form and creating a new record in our Dynamics 365 CRM. We've made flows like this before which have worked fine, but now I get the following error:

OpenApiOperationParameterTypeConversionFailed. The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Create_a_new_record' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: Input parameter 'item/_new_tempo_org_value' is required to be of type 'String/uuid'. The runtime value '"Tempo"' to be converted doesn't have the expected format 'String/uuid'.

Basically, I have no idea what this means, and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here is the code in case it's relevant:

Re: 'String' is not convertible to type/format 'String/uuid'

Thank you for the reply. But I don't understand anything you said. I don't have a lookup. I have a string. I create a field in dataverse that is text. I can't put the string there because of the error message mentioned above.

Hi @Geezer

You need the entity logical name / Guid to set the lookup.

Thanks

Re: 'String' is not convertible to type/format 'String/uuid'

This is also an issue for me. Can anyone provide a link to Microsoft documentation on this? I have tried adding the expression guid() in front of the field in the Flow and still get this error.

The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Add_Line_Item_Row' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: Input parameter 'item/cr37e_orderid' is required to be of type 'String/uuid'. The runtime value '"20558"' to be converted doesn't have the expected format 'String/uuid'.

Re: 'String' is not convertible to type/format 'String/uuid'

I'm getting the same error.
I want to approve a Purchase Order residing in D365. I created the flow with the appropriate triggers and conditions then i started the approval process. Once the request has been rejected/approved, I want to update the Purchase Order form on D365 with the approval status, approver comments, and the approver. However I'm getting this error (same error as this issue):

OpenApiOperationParameterTypeConversionFailed. The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Update_a_record' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: Input parameter 'item/_msdyn_approvedrejectedby_value' is required to be of type 'String/uuid'. The runtime value 'admn-d36'' to be converted doesn't have the expected format 'String/uuid'.

Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated.

You need to add a single quotation mark 'Value' around the value.

Thank you for your help. I've tried this, but it says "BadRequest" and says it's a Syntax Error?

Hi @CharlotteWest

You need to use List records actions step and set the filter query

Re: 'String' is not convertible to type/format 'String/uuid'

Hello,

Yes it is a lookup. Which function is it specifically that I will need to add to my flow? I've tried looking but I'm not sure. We basically have a list of "Regions" in the CRM with set names which match those in the Form. I need the Flow to look at the GUIDs of the Regions in the CRM and match them to whichever answer someone gave in the form. Is that possible?
