Dynamic options in Approval Message

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
Hi all,
 
I want to create an approval which gives the respondant the ability to select and assign a person (names are stored in a sharepoint list) in Power Automate Cloud flows. 
 
I can get it to work if I enter the names into the options in the Start and Wait for an Approval, but want to use the names from the sharepoint list as Response Options
 
I can pull the names from the list OK, either as a string or an array, but cannot work out how to pass them into the Start and Wait for an Approval flow.
 
is this possible?  
 
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
 
Jeff

    Well what you can do is reassign the approver by using following options from teams approval app
     
     
     
    But showing dropdown options of approver and enabling users to select it - we may need a flow which handles that in backend - like getting the selected approver details and assigning the approval to that persons - May be adaptive cards + dataverse actions would be good approach !
     

    Thanks & Regards,
