Hi,

I am creating a flaw to create a list item in SharePoint, and I am having to use the 'Send an HTTP Request to SharePoint' action as I need to be able to leave 'Person/Group' fields blank.

When I am trying to create an item with a choice field that allows multiple selections, I am struggling to get this to work. I though you should be able to do this using a JSON array but I am getting this error. The choice field I am trying to populate is called 'Pick'.

An unexpected 'StartObject' node was found when reading from the JSON reader. A 'PrimitiveValue' node was expected.

Please help.

This is just my test flow to work out how to structure the HTTP request.

Thanks,

Lewis

Hello @lewiswoolley23 ,

you're missing information about the item type in the Body, add the "__metadata" part from below with replacing the <ListName> with the name of the list where you create the item.

{ "__metadata": { "type": "SP.Data.<ListName>ListItem" }, "Column1": "Value1", "Column2": "Value2", "Column3": "Value3" }
