update file properties with multiselect values

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 13

I have a flow that converts a word document into a PDF. This part works well but I want it to update the file properties to match the original word document. One of the columns is called Tags and it is a multi-selectable choice and I cannot get it to update completely if at all. I have tried it a few different ways but here is the current flow and error message. Any help is appreciated.

    Hello @Leighmer ,

    did you try to check what 'entire array' input the action expects? I don't think it'll be the whole Tags array from the file, it's often just one specific property from the whole object. You can check what format it expects if you enter some dummy value and then switch to the "input entire array mode", that'll show you the expected input and you can adjust it in the flow.

    Hi,

    It only wants the Tag value. This is what I have tried and the result:

    hi @v-liwei-msft . Thank you for your response. I have tried that and the results are in the above picture called array.

    This is the problem when I set it up like that, unless there is something i'm missing.

    I was missing this piece here on mine and after comparing it I saw this is what was different.
