Hello, the user has the possibility to assign the workflow to one or more users and the sharepoint list should enter the assigned in column (Person or Group ). Unfortunately it only works if only one user has been assigned.

Hi @Mischa2710 ,

For multi people field, you will need to pass in array. Please see this link for an example.

Sorry, but I don´t think that this works for a flow which starts with "For a selected item". I would like to enter the name of the person, the flow has been sent to, in sharepoint list . This could be single or multiple persons be.

Hi @Mischa2710 ,

Just to confirm, you will specify one or more approvers in the manual trigger and then you want to update the approver column for that list item right?

Yes, that´s correct ... to make it more clear, let me show the steps:

1. Item will be activated, Approvers will be entered and flow will be executed
2. Status,Start Date and Approver will be entered in respective columns

3. Everything works, but as soon I enter multi Approver it runs on error and I don´t know how to create an array therefore.

Hi @Mischa2710 ,

The concept for the previous post is still the same. Anyways, try the below:

1) Init 2 arrays. For NewApprovers, split your email field based on ;

@split(triggerBody()['email'],';')

2) Loop through your NewApprovers array and append to the Claims array in the below JSON format. Pass the Claims array as the approvers in your SharePoint list.
