Power Automate add an existing person or group field from one sharepoint list to another sharepoint list of type person or group

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have 2 sharepoint list that are basically the same list. List A and List B. Once List A item is "Approved" I need to remove it from that List A and added to List B. Both list contain a column called Attendees that is of type Person or Group. I can't figure out the correct way to accomplish this. I have tried Claims and such but then it adds a record for each person listed in the Column of type Group or Person.

If I add any of those options it changes that Create Item to an Apply to Each and adds a record for each person. I have tried multiple different way trying to get that data into a variable or a compose and have that added just once but I haven't been able to figure it out. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

    Hey @Anonymous 

     

    I have not done this before, but I might have a solution for you.

    Instead of using append to array variable, Initialize a string variable.

    After this, use append to string action and add person's email field in it. At then end add a semi colon, to separate each email address with a semi-colon. 

    Something like this:

    And then use this string variable in the create item. Hopefully it will work. 🙂

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    Your second method is already very close to the correct method.
    I made a test for your reference (Person column named AssigneeNames)
